The Greek women's national volleyball team has secured third place in their group at the European Championship, earning a spot in the knockout stage. Their final group standing was confirmed after the Czech Republic defeated Bulgaria 3-0. This result means Greece will avoid a potentially challenging matchup against a powerful Italian team in the round of 16.

Instead, Greece is set to face France in the next phase of the tournament. The French team secured their position by defeating Sweden 3-1. This upcoming match offers the Greek team, led by coach Giannis Athanasopoulos, an opportunity for a rematch against the French squad, whom they previously lost to 3-1 at the World Championship in Thailand.

The exact date and time for the Greece-France match have not yet been announced. It is expected to take place either on Sunday or Monday. The team now prepares for this crucial knockout game, aiming to advance further in the competition.
