Italy powered past Poland with a straight-sets victory 3–0 (25-21, 25-22, 25-23) to secure a spot in the World Championship final. The match lacked rhythm at times, with both teams struggling with unforced errors, but the reigning champions held their nerve when it mattered most.
Yuri Romanò emerged as the match’s top scorer with 15 points, backed by Alessandro Michieletto’s 12. Francesco Sani made a decisive impact late in the second set, delivering crucial serves that tilted momentum firmly in Italy’s favor.
Poland’s attack was led by Wilfredo Leon Venero, who posted 14 points. Kewin Sasak (9) and Kamil Semeniuk (7) added support, but the Polish side couldn’t find solutions to Italy’s consistent serving and defensive resilience.
Italy now moves on to face Bulgaria in Sunday’s gold-medal match, while Poland will battle the Czech Republic for bronze.
