VakifBank took the Turkish Cup in five sets with Haak’s stunning 44 points

This weekend, we watched an exciting and contentious clash in the final of the Turkish Cup like we haven’t seen in the domestic tournaments for a long time.

The final four stage of the national cup in Turkey was held this weekend. The CEV Champions League Volley SuperFinalist VakifBank Istanbul and the semifinalist of Europe’s biggest tournament, Fenerbahce Opet, had no difficulties overpowering their rivals in the semifinal matches and defeated THY Istanbul and Eczacibasi Dynavit Istanbul, respectively.

These top two teams came face to face yesterday in the highly anticipated final battle. The encounter was -as expected- quite challenging, and both teams fought so hard to win the trophy. After the first four sets, the score was 2-2; therefore, the match was extended to the tiebreak set. However, in front of the almost 6000 fans in Ankara, VakifBank once again did what they had done in the Golden Set of the CEV Champions League Volley semifinals and beat Fenerbahce in the last breath (3-2: 21-25, 25-21, 25-13, 27-29, 17-15).

While each player on the court gave their best performance in both teams, there was an extraordinary performance of one of them: The MVP of the Turkish Cup, VakifBank’s Isabelle Haak played a spectacular game and scored a total of 44 points, including 5 aces and 1 block point with 56% attack percentage. It was also none other than Haak on the service line when VakifBank found 8-0 series in the third set.

Alongside 15 points Arina Federovtseva’s and experienced middle blocker Eda Erdem Dundar’s 13 points, 29 points of opposite Fenerbahce Melissa Teresa Vargas’s with 55% attack ratio were not enough for Fenerbahce for winning the title.

Poland And Slovenia To Host Relocated FIVB Volleyball Men’s World Championship 2022

written by Press

The FIVB and Volleyball World have announced that Poland and Slovenia will host the relocated FIVB Volleyball Men’s World Championship 2022, with other European countries also potentially joining at a later stage, after the event was removed from Russia due to war in Ukraine.

Poland and Slovenia were two of many world-class volleyball destinations to step forward and offer to host the event, which will be held later this year after Volleyball World opened an accelerated bidding process last month.

In addition, as per the FIVB’s regulations and with Poland and Slovenia already qualified for the event, Ukraine has been invited to replace Russia in the competition line up as the next highest ranked team in the World Ranking. The Russia men’s national will not take part after the country was declared ineligible to participate in all international and continental events until further notice.

In a clear demonstration of European solidarity, there is also the potential for one or several more European nations to join Poland and Slovenia in hosting the event, and these will be announced accordingly at a later stage.

FIVB President Dr Ary S. Graça F° said:

“The FIVB is delighted that the volleyball loving nations of Poland and Slovenia will welcome the Volleyball Family this summer for one of the biggest celebrations in our sport. Both countries have a proven track record of hosting FIVB events and are well equipped to host an exceptional Men’s World Championship.

 

“I would like to offer my sincerest gratitude for all the nations who expressed an interest in stepping up at volleyball’s time of need. For me, the way the Volleyball Family has come together in solidarity at this time has been very touching, and we are proud to have been able to find such an amazing solution.”
