The Bulgarian national volleyball team (B formation) will play two control matches against the team of North Macedonia. The matches will take place in the "Levski Sofia" hall on July 29 at 5:00 PM and July 30 at 12:00 PM, respectively, and the matches will not be open to the public.
These meetings will give the team an opportunity to test what has been achieved during the current preparation. The main goal of this formation is precisely the application of game models and the development of players in a training-competition environment.
After the control matches, the Bulgarian team will depart for Skopje, where they will participate in the international memorial tournament "Branko Hadzi Iljoski - Chayka" from August 5 to 7. In addition to Bulgaria (B formation), the teams of North Macedonia and Switzerland will also take part in the competition.
