Our national team faced host Italy in the 5th–8th place match and suffered a 20–37 loss, in a match where the difference in skill was evident in both halves (8–17, 12–20).
Despite the result, our national team players had the opportunity to gain valuable experience by participating in a high-level tournament. Cyprus will conclude its run in the tournament on Monday, facing Kosovo in the 7th-8th place game.
