Volleyball World Championship 2025 Schedule for September 28

Meanwhile, Italy confirmed their champion strength by beating Poland—three-time world champions—3-0 (25-21, 25-22, 25-23). However, the scoreline does not fully capture the match’s tension. Poland led in all three sets, at times by 5-6 points. Yet, timely brilliance from Yuri Romano and Francesco Sani helped Italy stage a bold comeback. The blue team demonstrated their ability to explode in the final points, securing a convincing win.

This marks Italy’s fourth consecutive appearance in the World Championship final, proving the stability and quality of their national volleyball program. They are now poised to successfully defend their title and solidify their status as the current top powerhouse.

For Bulgaria, they are the true dark horse of the tournament. Not highly rated before the competition started, their brave fighting spirit and cohesive gameplay have produced many surprises. Reaching the final is already a great achievement, but Bulgaria certainly does not intend to stop there.

The final between Italy and Bulgaria will not only be a clash of two different volleyball philosophies but also a contest of courage and ambition. Italy needs another victory to assert dominance, while Bulgaria dreams of continuing their fairy-tale by winning their first world title.

Additionally, Poland will face the Czech Republic in the bronze medal match—another encounter expected to be intense and exciting.
