Fenerbahçe men’s team bid farewell to CEV Cup after second straight loss

Fenerbahçe HDI ISTANBUL are bidding farewell to the 2023 edition of the men’s CEV Cup after losing two times in a row to Bluenergy Daiko Volley PIACENZA in the 8^th Finals – always by the same score, in four sets. The return match played in Istanbul ended in a 1-3 loss for the home side (25-22, 23-25, 24-26, 19-25).

Among many other guests and supporters, the Fenerbahçe Board Member responsible for Volleyball, Simla Türker Bayazıt followed the match from the stands of the Burhan Felek Volleyball Hall. Fenerbahçe HDI started the match with a starting six including Kaan Gürbüz, Alexandre Ferreira, Yacine Louati, Arda Bostan, Vahit Emre Savaş, Ahmet Tümer supported by liberos Hasan Yeşilbudak and Burak Mert. The home favourites claimed the opening set by 25-22. However, after losing the second and third – combined with a previous 1-3 setback in Italy – their fate was already known, and the Turkish team will have to wait for next season to contest any other international matches.
