Meanwhile, in Italy, Conegliano faces a challenging matchup, while Türkiye’s top teams prepare for relatively straightforward encounters.
The Polish Cup reaches its decisive stage this weekend, with four elite teams of the country competing for the prestigious trophy. Among them, #CLVolleyW playoff contender Developres Rzeszow will take on reigning titleholder BKS Bostik Bielsko-Biala in the semifinals on Saturday. With a potential title on the line, the Rzeszow side will look to gain momentum ahead of their European commitments while solidifying their domestic dominance.

In the 23rd round of Italy’s Serie A1, the defending CEV Champions League Volley champions A. Carraro Imoco Volley Conegliano will face a crucial test against Igor Gorgonzola Novara. Imoco has been unstoppable this season, maintaining a perfect record in the league and recently securing another national cup triumph. Novara, currently among the league’s top contenders, will attempt to challenge Conegliano’s dominance, but with the depth and consistency of Daniele Santarelli’s squad, the leading side surely remain favorites to extend their perfect domestic campaign.
The three Turkish representatives in the CEV Champions League Volley, Fenerbahce Medicana Istanbul, Eczacibasi Dynavit Istanbul, and VakifBank Istanbul, are all expected to secure comfortable victories in the 21st leg of the Turkish Sultanlar League. Fenerbahce, leading the domestic standings, will look to maintain their top position, while Eczacibasi and VakifBank aim to keep pace. With all three teams heavily favored in their respective fixtures, they will be focused on maintaining their winning momentum before shifting their attention back to upcoming European challenges.
This weekend, Rzeszow will battle for the trophy in Polish Cup, Conegliano aims to extend its dominance in Italy, and Türkiye’s top teams continue to assert their superiority. While national league and cup competitions remain crucial, these matches also serve as preparation for the upcoming CEV Champions League Volley games. As the weekend takes place, #CLVolleyW clubs will seek to balance their domestic goals with their aspirations for European glory.
