– This match will pave the way for the Olympic qualifying tournament. Recall that the Nations League final in Gdańsk and the European Championships will take place earlier.

He noted that the digressions on the transfer of the final volleyball team to Poland were quickly stopped.

– There were such attempts. An interview sowed confusion. When it turned out that two Turkish teams would participate in the women’s final and Polish teams in the men’s final, I made a phone call. The subject was quickly reset, I was made to understand that the tournament will remain in Turin. In retrospect, I think it was a good decision. Maybe there won’t be a big volleyball festival, but let’s imagine that in the Plusliga final, the Jastrzębie-Zdrój team plays five games against ZAKSA, they finish on Wednesday and on Saturday, they have to play the sixth in the Champions League. On foreign soil, success will taste even better – said Świderski.
