The Spanish volleyball team will play this Saturday against Sweden and next Wednesday at home against Switzerland The two games that remain from the classification phase for the European next year, in which he is obliged to win and wait for a carambola to achieve the ticket for the continental competition.
The team that trains the French Hubert Henno will be measured tomorrow with the Nordic team in the Swedish town of Habo and on the 13th against the Helvetic in Alicante in the Pedro Ferrándiz pavilion.
The 'red lynx' lost last year to Sweden in Guadalajara (0-3) and in their visit to Switzerland (3-2)for what you need to overcome both 3-0 or 3-1 and wait for other favorable results.
Switzerland and Sweden, with victory for the Helvetics in their first game, lead Group E With four points, while the Spanish team has one.
They classify for the European the leaders of the seven groups of the classification phase and the five best seconds, so Spain still has some mathematical option waiting for the result of Swiss and Swedes clash on the 16th.
There will be 24 countries that will fight for the continental title in the tournament that will be organized from September 9 to 27, 2026 with Italy, Finland, Romania and Bulgaria as venues.
Henno has displaced Habo to fourteen players: Rubén Lorente and Jaime Arjones (plates); Andrés Villena and Álvaro Gimeno (opposites); Víctor Rodríguez, Carlos Nieves, José Villalba and Jordi Ramon (receivers); Alejandro Ribas, Jean Pascal Diedhiou, Miquel àngel Fornés and Joan Domenech (centrals); José Osado and Unai Larrañaga (Leberos), reports the Royal Spanish Volleyball Federation on its website.
Spain has participated in the last four Editions of the Eurovolley, a biennial tournament, and the last time it did not achieve a ticket in 2015.
Henno, who stood out as a player in the France team, took the reins of the 'red lynx' last May.
His first test was the group stage of the European Gold League, in which, of twelve teams, he occupied the sixth place, with four wins and two losses, so he did not have access to the final to four.
