The EuroVolley 2021 Women – Ambassadors from Croatia!

CEV, Luxembourg. Croatia will be one of the four host countries for this year’s EuroVolley Women event, alongside Romania, Bulgaria and Serbia later this summer and two of the biggest names from the Croatian national team have been chosen to be part of the Ambassadors Programme.

The Ambassadors Programme brings together two fantastic players from each of the four host countries per gender. In the coming months leading up to the start of the events, the eight Ambassadors will be actively engaging with fans across all CEV platforms and beyond, taking everyone along on the EuroVolley 2021 journey via exclusive content especially designed to give fans a sneak peek into their own experiences.

Over the next days we will continue to gradually announce the Ambassadors from each host country, and after announcing the Ambassadors from Romania, time has come to reveal the Ambassadors from Croatia: Samanta Fabris and Nikolina Božicevic.

Nikolina Božicevic: “I am really honoured and exited to be an ambassador of EuroVolley. Especially since my country is one of the hosts for this competition.”

Nikolina Boži?evi? grew up in the capital city of Croatia, Zagreb and enjoyed playing all sports as a child, but mostly the ones that included a ball. Her mum played volleyball and watching her developed Nikolina’s love for the sport which grew since the very first day. Before volleyball she played athletics, basketball, tennis and gymnastics, until there was a new volleyball club in her part of the town called HAOK Dubrava. There she started her volleyball journey which developed into playing as Libero for the best club in Zagreb – HAOK Mladost.

Samanta Fabris: “It would be a pleasure to host such tournament as EuroVolley. It would definitely be better for us in terms of atmosphere at the matches.”

Samanta Fabris was born on 8 February 1992 in Pula, Croatia. She comes from a small town in Istra and grew up there living with her mom, dad, brother and sister. She has been playing volleyball from the age of 14, and before volleyball played tennis.
