The French volleyball players gave up all hope of a direct qualification for the Tokyo Olympics, despite their victory Sunday in Gdansk against Tunisia 3 sets to 1 (25-21, 20-25, 25-19, 25-22).
Only a win without giving any set to the recent champions of Africa could maintain a small hope of winning the first place of the group, which also includes Poland and Slovenia, and the only ticket at stake for the Olympics 2020.
To play the fifth Olympic Games after Seoul-1988, Barcelona-1992, Athens-2004 and Rio-2016, the French will have to win the last continental qualification tournament in January (from 6 to 12), bringing together the eight best European nations. not yet qualified.
