2010 CEV European League

The 2010 Men's European Volleyball League was the seventh edition of the annual Men's European Volleyball League, which featured men's national volleyball teams from eight European countries: Austria, Great Britain, Greece, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Spain, and Turkey.[1] A preliminary league round was played from June 4 to July 11, and the final four tournament was held at the Polideportivo Aguas Vivas hall, in Guadalajara, Spain, on July 16 and 17.[2]

During the league round, competing nations were drawn into two pools of four teams, and played each other in a double round-robin system, with two matches per leg in a total of six legs.[1] Pool winners and the best runner-up would qualify for the final four round, joining the host team. If the final four host team finished first in its league round pool, both pool runners-up would qualify for the final four.[1] Spain and Portugal won pool A and B, respectively, and Romania and Turkey qualified as runners-up.

In the final four tournament, the semi-final matches featured Portugal and Spain defeating Romania (3–2) and Turkey (3–0), respectively, to produce a rematch of the 2007 final. Portugal overturned a 1–0 Spanish lead to win 3–1 and secure its first European League title. As winner of the 2010 European League, Portugal will compete in the FIVB World League 2011 Qualification tournament.
