The Swiss women’s team suffered a setback in qualifying for Euro 2023. In the 1st of 2 decisive matches once morest Bosnia, they lost 3-1 in Sarajevo.
After trailing 2 sets to 0 (25-19 25-20) and saving 3 match points in the 3rd set, the Swiss regained hope by winning the 3rd set (28-26). But the illusion was short-lived, Bosnia winning the 4th set 25-23.
In the group of Switzerland, Greece has so far logically proven to be the strongest team. And as only the teams ranked 1st and 2nd of the 6 groups qualify for the final phase of the Euro next year, the 2 matches once morest Bosnia are therefore decisive.
Thus, following the defeat in Sarajevo, Switzerland absolutely needs a victory in the second duel once morest the Bosnians in order to maintain its chances of participating in the Euro. They will meet the Bosnians next Saturday at Schönenwerd.
