The Bulgarian men’s volleyball team has advanced to the final of
the World Championships for the first time in 55 years,
Azernews reports.
Bulgaria overcame the Czech Republic in the semifinals of the
2025 tournament held in the Philippines, winning 3-1 with set
scores of 25:20, 23:25, 25:21, and 25:22.
The last time Bulgaria secured a place among the top two was in
1970, when they claimed a silver medal. At that time, however, the
final standings were determined through a round-robin system, and
there was no actual final match.
Bulgaria will now compete for the championship title against the
winner of the Italy vs. Poland semifinal clash.
The 2025 World Championship is taking place in the Philippines
from September 12 to 28. Defending champions Italy previously beat
Poland in the 2022 final in four sets.
