This means that the White and Reds have two more matches ahead of them - on Saturday the semi-final against Italy, and on Sunday - depending on the result - the match for third place or the final.

The Polish team hasn't played Italy yet this year. In 2024, they faced each other twice. First, the Polish team won 3-0 in the Nations League group stage, and then, in the knockout stage, the Italians returned the favor by the same score, thus advancing to the final.

The Italians have yet to lose a single match in the Nations League this year. Dorota Świeniewicz-Brandt expects a tough outing.

"Italy is the best team in the world. They're on a long unbeaten streak. Before the quarterfinals, they had 26 wins in a row, and by beating the United States, they extended their streak to 27. This is a team based on four players who played for the same club last season, Vero Volley Milano. I'm referring to Orro, Danesi, Sylla, and Egonu. However, no one has a monopoly on winning. You have to go out and fight," she said in an interview with Polsat Sport.
