Eczacıbaşı won the other semifinal of the day 3-2, defeating Scandicci with a final score of 20-25, 25-20, 25-17, 21-25 and 15-8.

It will be a 100% Turkish final.

D-Day in the CEV Champions League with two great matches. Imoco vs. VakıfBank will be the headliner, but Eczacıbaşı vs. Scandicci promises to be an exciting game as well.

Predictions?

They look unstoppable, but do you think teams like Turkey or Brazil have found a weakness?

For the 2026/27 season, Galatasaray Daikin is reportedly eyeing several key players to strengthen their roster. Potential recruits include Vita Akimova (Milano), Ayça Aykaç (VakıfBank), both Janset Cemre Erkul and Eylül Karadaş from Zeren, Lena Stigrot (Kurobe), Çağla Çiçekoğlu (THY), and Ege Melisa Bükmen (Kuzeyboru).

While these moves point to a major change in the roster, none of these transfers are official yet.

It's not in Europe, but the 2026 Major League Volleyball season was really fun to follow, with high-quality matches and a truly balanced field, just like last night’s Championship Final.

The Dallas Pulse, an expansion team in their inaugural season, has taken the crown by beating the Omaha Supernovas in a five-set thriller: (20-25, 25-23, 15-25, 25-13, 15-9).

Too bad they won't take part in the 2026 FIVB Club World Championship.

really sad to see kate antropova, brenda castillo and lindsey ruddins leaving scandicci, it won't be easy to replace them. good luck and thank you for the great seasons, that world title is unforgettable.

Brenda Castillo has officially left Savino Del Bene Scandicci and is expected to join Fenerbahçe Medicana for the upcoming 2026/2027 season.

Could she be a game changer for the squad in both the Sultanlar Ligi and the CEV Champions League?

Marina Lubian and Matilde Munarini have officially signed elsewhere, with Lubian joining Chieri and Munarini signing with UYBA.

While not yet official, Nika Daalderop is reportedly linked to a move to Turkey with Türk Hava Yolları SK, Serena Scognamillo to Busto Arsizio in Italy’s Serie B, and setter Jenna Ewert to Béziers Volley in the French league.

The CEV rules are strange and infuriating. The two teams who dominated the 2026 CEV Cup are pushed back to the CEV Challenge Cup next season.

Why? Because of their national league results, but also because the two top nations have just ONE slot in the CEV Cup, while "smaller" nations have TWO.

It's just unbelievable that a P5 (5th place) finish in the Sultanlar Ligi or Serie A doesn't grant a CEV Cup entry.

This system is broken and needs to be changed.
