Istanbul will welcome the real elite of women’s Volleyball for the Final Four of this year’s CEV Champions League Volley scheduled for May 3-4, 2025! A Final Four has not taken place to crown the queens of European Volleyball since 2018 – when it was last held in Bucharest and ended with Türkiye’s VakifBank ISTANBUL claiming their fourth title. This time, the top four teams emerging from the quarterfinals will be coming together in Istanbul for the most anticipated and electrifying showdown of the season!
It is not the first time that a #CLVolleyW Final Four has taken place by the Bosphorus. It did previously happen in 2002, in 2011, as well as in 2013. The event returns to a city and a country where women’s Volleyball enjoys tremendous popularity – a country that has produced the eventual #CLVolleyW winners as many as eight times since 2011!
“Istanbul is a real mega-city, a major Volleyball hub, a place with unparalleled historical heritage – therefore, it is an ideal location where to deliver the first #CLVolleyW Final Four since 2018. The local audience is incredibly knowledgeable and passionate, but we look forward to hosting many international fans as well. I would like to thank our local partners and especially Turkish Volleyball Federation President Mr Üstündag for their readiness to work with us on the delivery of a magnificent event.”
Roko Sikirić
CEV President
After the Super Finals had coincided with the season climax between 2019 and 2024, the competition returns to its ‘traditional’ format – with the top four teams in Europe coming together for a weekend filled with world-class Volleyball and spine-tingling entertainment consisting of two semi-finals on the Saturday (May 3) and the bronze and gold medal matches following on Sunday, May 4.
“We are very proud to host the CEV Champions League Volley Women’s Final Four, – one of the most prestigious club tournaments in Europe – in Istanbul, one of the most popular cities in the world, on 3-4 May 2025. I would like to thank everyone who has contributed to this great organisation, and I wish good luck to all participating teams. I would also like to thank the European Volleyball Confederation (CEV) and its President Roko Sikirić for entrusting this important organisation to Türkiye once again.”
Mehmet Akif Üstündag
President of the Turkish Volleyball Federation
