Shino Nagane travels all the way from Japan to follow the Serbian team:
“I like European volleyball. I especially like the Serbian team and volleyball players. That is why I started watching volleyball. I will continue to support the team. I am looking forward to watch the matches live in the Boxen venue in Herning. Until now, I have just been able to watch the matches on the Internet.”
Another fan, who travels a long distance, is Elena Zhurman from Australia. She will travel 16.000 kilometers to Denmark to see the legends play live:
“The European Championship is a special event in the World of Volleyball so I’m coming over to Denmark to enjoy the competition and to see the volleyball stars and legends playing live. Three European teams reached the London 2012 Olympic Games semis which really displays how strong European Volleyball is. I expect EuroVolley2013 to be a lot of fun and extremely enjoyable event with the atmosphere of sport and fair competition between the top European National Teams.”
No doubt that the expectations are high among the fans coming to the capital of Denmark. Especially Eliette Riera from France expects a great VELUX EuroVolley2013:
“I was lucky enough to be in London for the Olympics last year, and even more lucky that I got tickets for volleyball games. The atmosphere, and being together with so many fans of the sport I’ve played and loved for many years, was the best thing of all! When I saw that the EuroVolley2013 final weekend was organized in such a way that it would not “just” be four games in two days, but also a lot of fun activities on the side, with fans from all around the world, I thought this could be this year’s Olympics. And I can’t even begin to imagine being in a city filled with volleyball fans from all around the world!”
