As they slowly but surely complete their roster for the 2026/2027 season with some major ‘coups’, #CLVolleyW runners-up Eczacibasi Dynavit have added Serbian outside hitter Aleksandra Uzelac and German middle blocker Camilla Weitzel to their ranks. 

Commenting on the transfer of Uzelac, General Manager Bilun Yilmaz highlighted both the player’s character and competitive mindset: “Aleksandra is a player who stands out not only with her energy, but also with the character she brings onto the court. She has already taken important steps in her career and is very close to establishing herself at the highest level of the game. We believe that within a structure aiming for championships, she will elevate her potential even further. Her competitive mentality and openness to development will bring dynamism to our team.”
