Opening

A spine tingling Opening Ceremony including show acts, live music and fireworks attended by an all-time record-breaking crowd set the tone for a historic night at PGE National Stadium in Warsaw. The fans virtually travelled to what the organisers have christened Volleyplanet as more than 1,600 people took part in the Opening Ceremony of EuroVolley 2017. Two bands, one popular duo, and as many as 180 dancers, 120 adults and 60 children, performed live to deliver something truly unprecedented in European Volleyball history. It was a tribute to Poland, but especially to Volleyball as more than 65,000 people all dressed in their white-and-red outfits celebrated the most popular sport in this country, thus confirming the status of Poland as Volleyland.
