The Monza team is off to Ankara, Turkey, where it will take part in the Turkey Sporsts Writer Association tournament this weekend. Some top quality oppositions to look forward to with Halkbank Ankara, the hosts of Ziraat Bankasi Ankara and Matin Varamin. The good news for Monza is that they will have Brazilian outside hitter Renan available as he just came back from the Pan American games. First opponent on Friday will be Halkbank Ankara led by coach Lorenzo Bernardi and Dragan Travica. A match against the host will follow on Saturday and then against Matin Varamin on Sunday.
“It’s a great pleasure for us to be able to face such quality clubs – said sport director Claudio Bonati – Such opportunities open the volleyball boundaries and not only. Our tour in China and the one we’re about to go to in Turkey thanks to Ziraat Bankasi’s invitation are examples of all the work done in recent years to promote our volleyball and our view of this sport abroad”.
