CV GRAN CANARIA resume their European journey on Wednesday night with a home match against Nova KBM Branik MARIBOR scheduled for the 16th Finals of the women’s CEV Cup 2022.

“They are a very tidy team, who distribute a lot of play and whose setter is very good because she is used to competing with the national team. In the end, they are a team that is going to make us work hard, that works well in blocking. At times, we shine and at others, we find it more difficult. If we find that balance, we will be able to compete at the level that this competition requires. What we have to be clear about is that one bad afternoon can leave us out of Europe.”

Head coach of CV GRAN CANARIA

‘Insert coin and try again’. CV GRAN CANARIA previously featured in the early rounds of the CEV Champions League and now wish to achieve more success in the CEV Cup. Since the start of the current season, CV GRAN CANARIA have shown that they are among the top contenders for the title in the Superliga. However, they are still in the process of finding some stability in their game. To this extent, they will have a real test in the CEV Cup against Nova KBM Branik MARIBOR. They are some sort of an eminence in Slovenian Volleyball, as it is the team with the most titles from domestic competitions in their country. However, last season they lost in the final of the Slovenian league to Calcit KAMNIK.

Alba Sánchez, player of CV GRAN CANARIA: “We are really looking forward to competing in Europe again. The Champions League was a great experience and we just missed out on getting through to the next round. Now we have another chance to play in European competition and we are very excited.”
