All in all, the VNVB will play well in the very first European Cup match in its history in Gran Canaria. The only difference with the initial format: there will be no return match at the Vandoeuvre sports park. This will not frustrate fans of the “panthers”, insofar as access to the room is still prohibited to them, until further notice.
Obviously, for the training of Radoslav Arsov, the mission promises to be complicated. But the health crisis passed by there and forced the European Volleyball Confederation to revise the formula of its competition.
While the VNVB and the Turkish club THY Istanbul were also candidates for the organization of a bubble hosting the eighth and quarter-finals of their table game, it was therefore Las Palmas that was drawn and appointed by the CEV.
On December 15, on the Spanish island, the two round of 16 will oppose on the one hand Gran Canaria to the VNVB, on the other hand Istanbul to the Romanians of Lugoj. The two winners will meet in the quarterfinals on December 17, at the same venue.
