Latvia's men's under-20 volleyball team lost 1:3 (in sets) to its Estonian counterparts in Armenia on Saturday, 31 October. It was the final match of the qualifying stage for the European Championship for players aged up to 20, in which national teams compete for a place in the tournament's finals.

Because of the defeat, the Latvians did not win a direct ticket to the finals. They will continue to fight for a place at the tournament in the next stage of qualification, which means a longer route to the finals.

Estonia, coached by Lauris Iecelnieks, secured a direct berth in the European Championship finals with the win over Latvia.
