Top volleyball players set course for Styria
Austria's best volleyball players set course for Styria! The national team has been preparing in Steinbrunn since Monday. Qualifying for the European Championships is fast approaching - this year they will play Belgium away and Azerbaijan at home. And the only competitive match at home will be played in Eastern Styria on August 17.
"We looked at where the hotspots are on the volleyball map in Austria. And for the men in particular, it was clear to us that we absolutely wanted to have a home game in Hartberg," explains the association's general secretary Philipp Seel. "With around 2,000 fans who can fit into the hall, it will be a real cauldron. The odds are stacked against our opponents."
The aces have confirmed their attendance
Tobias Willimek, Max Thaller and Richard Hensel are a trio of players from Eastern Styria, while UVC Graz also has a team player in Stefan Mülleder.
All the top names in local volleyball have been called up for the qualifiers. "We were in contact with the players for a long time because we wanted to have the best possible squad. This is now the result of our efforts," says Seel proudly. Paul Buchegger (who graduated from HIB Liebenau) and Alex Berger are the two best local attackers in the squad. Only Hartberg's shooting star Lukas Glatz had to miss out due to wrist surgery.
