Between 2nd and 7th of September Polish National Team played 4 matches in Wrocław Centennial Hall. Admittedly, the opening match was played at the National Stadium in Warsaw, but it was Wrocław that for almost a week was the most important city on the volleyball map of the country. Fans gathered in Centennial Hall watched the group "A" remaining matches and their appetite is growing with what it feeds on, therefore hope for the finals is very big. Paweł Gołębski together with assisting representatives of The World Games 2017 led a great doping during those four gaming days in this area. It was colorful and active, and attracted a lot of attention, especially the contests with tickets for National Team matches as a winning prize.

One of the main goals of The World Games 2017 is to promote sport activities among Polish society. Because of that the organizers plans for upcoming years are to intensively cooperate and participate in sport events in Wrocław and across the country. Attending the FIVB Volleyball Men's World Championship was of course a great opportunity to do it.
