Team Hellas continues its unstoppable run at the Euros and has officially locked in a spot in the semifinals! The final group-stage result against Romania (21/01, 18-9 win) was almost secondary, as qualification was already in the bag.

But the team still delivered a dominant performance in the last match of the main round, building momentum ahead of the high-stakes knockout games!

Now, the blue-and-white will face Hungary in the semifinals (23/01, 18:00). The goal? A podium finish – and why not gold? After all, it's the only major medal missing from Greece's history in big tournaments!

Greece remains unbeaten – no losses in any match against any opponent!

While that might sound straightforward, here's the key: No other team in the tournament has achieved this! Every other side has at least one defeat in their record after the group phase.

The national team secured a triumphant qualification to the final four, with Kostas Kakaris dominating at two meters.

The big challenge now? Reach the final and lift the gold – which would only happen if they stay unbeaten all the way!
