The Balkan Volleyball Association

After dropping down from the prelims of the 2012 CEV Volleyball Champions League, Romania’s

2004 Tomis CONSTANTA is about to continue its campaign in the European Cups by joining

next week the Challenge Round of the 2012 CEV Volleyball Cup and play there Russia’s

Dinamo KRASNODAR.

Romania has got only two teams that are still in contention for the European Cups, the other

being Tomis CONSTANTA that will be playing Maccabi TEL AVIV of Israel in the 1/4 finals of the

2012 CEVVolleyball Challenge Cup – Men. The clash with Dinamo does not look that easy for the

Romanian champions especially as the return match will be played in Russia. However, the players

mentored by head coach Darko Zakoc will have the opportunity to gain some more valuable

experience by playing a very solid opponent.  

The schedule of the national league was recently disrupted in Romania because of bad weather,

with some matches having been postponed and this may be an advantage for the home side as

the players have been able to rest for a few days. Even though the winter season is still ruling

there on the shores of the Black Sea, quite many fans are supposed to make it to the sports hall

this coming Tuesday to passionately cheer on the home heroines.
