The CEV Champions League Finals are underway, set to take place at the Inalpi Arena in Turin this weekend, where this year’s winner will be announced. Sir Sicoma Monini Perugia’s quest for a second consecutive title, following their 2025 triumph, begins. The Umbrian team will make their debut tomorrow at 5:00 PM in the first Semifinal, facing Polish side PGE Project Warsaw, with coverage live on DAZN and Sky Sport.
Perugia, who have already secured the Scudetto, Super Cup, and Club World Cup this season, are aiming to secure a prestigious four-game winning streak, concluding their campaign in the best possible way. The match against Warsaw will be a delicate and far-from-obvious affair, coinciding with the Block Devils’ 100th Champions League match, and could secure Lorenzetti’s team their third Champions League final appearance.
On the other side of the net, some familiar faces from Italian volleyball: from spikers Kevin Tillie (who played in Modena, Ravenna, and Cisterna) and Brandon Koppers (one season in Ravenna) to opposite spiker Linus Weber, who spent time in Milan and Padua. Polish spiker Bartosz Bednorz, who was seen in Modena and injured during the 3rd Place Final of the PlusLiga (Polish championship), may not be in the match.
