The game, which was held at Max-Schmeling-Halle, had an interesting prelude as 800 children, who learn volleyball in youth categories of BR Volleys, found their way to the court to take a memorable group photo. Before the match, BR Volleys created a social wall on their website on which they streamed the game.
