Serbia – France: 2-3
Twenty-four hours after having offered the SCALP of the Netherlands for the first time in their history, the French beaten, on Saturday June 21, 2025, Serbia at home, during the second stage of the League of Nations.
Serbia which, it must be remembered, is a major nation of volleyball, double world champion (2018, 2022). So, of course, the Serbian selection is decreased and is due to the moment next to the VNL, with seven setbacks in as many disputed meetings, but this success remains one more stage for French women who keep climbing in the global hierarchy.
Five sets, and a lot of suspense
This meeting was marked with the seal of the suspense since the two teams each had their highlights. But the Bleues ended up winning in five rounds: 21-25, 25-16, 16-25, 25-15, 15-13.
Back during this Belgradoise week, the tricolor executives still weighed on their full experience, like their captain Héléna Cazaute (25 points) and the steepness Iman Ndiaye (21 points). And it is in their wake that the Blue went to win a tie-break where they will have counted three match balls but that they will finally have won 15-13.
With this third success garnered since the start of this Nations League, the French team dates back to 9e place. And this before another challenge, this Sunday, June 22 (4:30 p.m.): the United States, currently… 10es of the VNL.
