In four months, the European dominoes championship will begin, and for the first time, both the men's and women's teams of Israel, which were drawn yesterday for the home stage of the championship to be held in Croatia, will participate.
In the lottery, which was attended by the union's chairman Revital Cohen Gloska, the women's team, whose third appearance in a row in the final tournament, was drawn for House 2 along with Serbia, France, Slovakia, Italy and Spain.
This is a good draw, and Israel, which finished last year in ninth place and two years ago in tenth place, hopes for the first time to advance to the quarterfinals, to compete for tickets to the World Championships.
The men's team, which will make its debut, received a tough draw, when it was placed in house number 4, along with strong Serbia, Hungary and Slovenia.
Men's national team coach Tal Grodman said: 'The draw is challenging and exciting.
On the one hand we got two of the best teams in the world - Serbia the Olympic champion and Hungary the European champion, and on the other hand we got Slovenia, which replaced Russia and is a team we will face for third place at home.
We will arrive as prepared as possible. "
