Overview

This summer, millions of fans who follow national volleyball teams will have the opportunity to see their favourites live, as Italy will host the 2023 European Men's Championships.

The men's European Championships, which will be held from 28 August to 16 September, will be jointly organised by Italy, Bulgaria, Israel and North Macedonia, with the continental and world champions coached by Ferdinando De Giorgi having the chance to play the entire tournament at home.

The Unipol Arena in Bologna will host the opening match on 28 August, which will pit Italy's hosts against Belgium's "Red Dragons".

The “Eternal City”, on the other hand, will act as the stage where the four best teams of the 2023 Men's European Championships will gather at the Sports Palace to play semi-finals and finals planned for 14 and 16 September respectively.

For the men's tournament, as well as Rome and Bologna, the cities of Perugia, Ancona and Bari will also be involved. The tricolour national team's matches against Estonia and Serbia will be played in the Umbrian capital. In Le Marche, De Giorgi's Azzurri will face Switzerland and Germany. The round of knockouts and quarterfinals will be played at the Pala Florio in Bari.

Thousands of fans from all over Europe will travel to the Italian cities involved in the summer to take part in what will be a great festival of European volleyball.
