Poland not only managed to qualify among the best, but will also have the privilege of playing in front of their fans in Lodz, where the final stages of the tournament will be played.

🔥 Germany and USA with a difficult path to the finals
The Germans had to go through a five-set drama against China in Arlington, where they led 2-0 but lost 2-3. The point won, however, was golden - it cemented Germany in eighth place and sent the team to the finals. The USA, on the other hand, narrowly beat Canada 3-2 and also recorded crucial points.
France and Czech Republic were disappointed, losing their last chances after a victory for France, but insufficient for qualification, and a defeat for the Czech Republic against Belgium, respectively.
📅 Quarter-final schedule in Lodz
It is curious that even before the official draw, host Poland already appears in the schedule with its quarter-final time, which suggests a"orchestrated" distribution, typical for such forums, to ensure maximum audience and television interest.
