Italvolley, World Cup semifinal will be against Brazil

It will be Italy-Brazil in the semifinals of the World Championships scheduled at PalaHuamark in Bangkok on Sept. 6 at 2:30 p.m. Italian time.

The Brazilians beat France 3-0 at the end of a match that was anything but a foregone conclusion, detaching the pass for the semifinals.

The Azzurri will thus have the chance to “avenge” the defeat accrued in the Netherlands in 2022 when Ze Roberto’s Brazil denied the Azzurri the rainbow final.
