Sweden’s European Championship match moved from new Brno arena to exhibition hall

The idea was that the Swedish volleyball team would play the round of 16 in a new multi-arena in Brno, but the women's European Championship finals had to be moved to an exhibition hall. "It was a little different," says Vilma Julevik.

The move is due to delays in the construction of the arena, and the matches therefore had to be moved to the Pavilion P exhibition hall.

There were barracks as changing rooms, so it was a bit exciting, says Isabelle Haak.

The multi-arena is due to be completed at the end of October, but the plan was for it to be ready as early as June this year.

Approximately 13,000 people could have watched the European Championship finals in the new arena, while the Pavilion P exhibition hall can accommodate approximately 5,000 people.

Sweden plays the round of 16 against the Czech Republic at 7 p.m. tonight.
