Two of the Treia newcomers will face some crucial game with their national teams this weekend. Slovenian spiker Cebulj is in the hunt for a spot in the European League Final Four. On the way there is a group stage to overcome with a double header against Turkey this weekend before meeting Greece, Byelorussia, Croatia and Romania afterwards. “They are all very dangerous opponents” said Cebulj.

As for libero Grebennikov, he will take part in the Group 2 final four. He will first take on Argentina in Varna and if France was to win, they would meet the winner of Belgium against the hosts of Bulgaria. The winner of this final four will then qualify for the World League final six, in which there are already Italy, Brazil, Serbia, Poland and the USA.
