Women's Volleyball at the XII Games of the Small States of Europe

The 10th Women's Volleyball Championship at the Games of the Small States of Europe took place from June 5 to 9, 2007, in Moneghetti, Monaco. The tournament featured five European national teams with fewer than one million inhabitants and was won by Cyprus for the sixth time.

Six teams participated in the women's competition: Iceland, Cyprus, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, San Marino, and Monaco. Each team played a single-round tournament to determine their final placement. In the men's competition, six teams also competed: Andorra, Cyprus, Iceland, Luxembourg, Monaco, and San Marino.

The women's championship was marked by several notable matches. On June 5, Cyprus defeated Liechtenstein in straight sets (3-1), while Luxembourg edged out Iceland in a closely contested match (3-1). The next day, Cyprus again emerged victorious, this time against Iceland with a score of 3-2.

San Marino's women team had an impressive performance as well. They beat Iceland on June 7 with a final score of 3-2 and also defeated Monaco earlier in the tournament. However, their match against Liechtenstein ended in defeat (1-3).

The competition continued with several more matches, including Cyprus' victory over Luxembourg (3-1) on June 8. The final standings were determined after all teams had played each other once.

In the end, Cyprus secured its sixth title in women's volleyball at the XII Games of the Small States of Europe, while Luxembourg took second place and Liechtenstein finished third.
