This coming weekend, the women’s MEVZA League will reach its climax with the highly anticipated Final Four tournament in Nova Gorica. The opening match features rookies ZOK Bimal-Jedinstvo BRCKO (BIH) and Calcit Volley KAMNIK (SLO) on Saturday afternoon. Immediately afterwards, hosts GEN-I Volley NOVA GORICA (SLO) will lock horns with main round winners Nova KBM Branik MARIBOR (SLO) in the second semi-final. The bronze medal match is due to take place on Sunday at 4 p.m., while the ‘big final’ will start four hours later.
Nova KBM Branik reached the most thrilling stage of this season’s competition with a 10-2 win-loss record. Therefore, Slovenia’s reigning national champions and multiple MEVZA League winners are somehow the natural favourites. “We definitely want to put our hands on the trophy. Lorena Lorber Fijok will miss the finals due to injury, but we were able to sign the US-player Tessa Grubbs as a substitute,” head coach Radovan Gacic explains.

ZOK Bimal-Jedinstvo BRCKO are participating in the MEVZA League for the first time this season. It is all the more impressive that Bosnia and Herzegovina’s national champions secured their Final Four spot as the second best team in the main round with an 8-4 win-loss record. Calcit Volley KAMNIK, on the other hand, clinched the MEVZA League title already in 2014 and 2016. In the regular season, Calcit Volley recorded seven victories out of twelve matches.

On Saturday, third-placed Mladost ZAGREB (CRO) host the leaders of the table ACH Volley, while WALDVIERTEL clash with Mladost Ribola KAŠTELA (CRO). The regular season will end on February 22.
