As the #CLVolleyW semifinals draw closer, the competition is intensifying in domestic leagues across Europe. This weekend, the Italian playoffs reach a decisive stage, Türkiye’s national cup will crown its champion, and the semifinal phase of the playoffs begins in Poland and Germany. With league titles and trophies on the line, there will be an abundance of thrilling encounters in the top volleyball nations of the continent.

In Italy, all three CEV Champions League Volley semifinalists will take the court for the third matches of their Serie A1 playoff semifinals. At first, A. Carraro Imoco Volley Conegliano will meet CEV Cup champions Igor Gorgonzola Novara in a highly anticipated battle. Conegliano started the series with a dominant victory, but Novara responded with an impressive win in the second game, which also ended Conegliano’s historic 50-match winning streak. With the series now level at 1-1, both teams will step onto the court with maximum focus, knowing that a victory will bring them one step closer to the final.

Meanwhile, the other semifinal sees an all-CEV Champions League Volley battle between Numia Vero Volley Milano and Savino Del Bene Scandicci. Milano holds a commanding 2-0 lead after securing two convincing wins, but Scandicci will not go down without a fight. With their season on the line, they will push hard to extend the series and keep their championship hopes alive. However, Milano is just one win away from securing their Serie A1 final appearance, and they will be determined to close the series in style.

In Türkiye, the national cup will be decided this weekend, featuring a star-studded Final Four. #CLVolleyW semifinalist VakifBank Istanbul, along with Fenerbahçe Medicana Istanbul, Eczacıbaşı Dynavit Istanbul, and THY Istanbul, will battle for the prestigious trophy.
