A really good news, Avery did really well with Savino Del Bene Scandicci in Italy, the CEV and clinching the world title.
With Maja Maja Ognjenović she is the second confirmed player for the 2026/2027 season.
Meanwhile, Sarah Franklin has officially left the squad and according to rumors she will be heading to Zeren.
The CEV rules are strange and infuriating. The two teams who dominated the 2026 CEV Cup are pushed back to the CEV Challenge Cup next season.
Why? Because of their national league results, but also because the two top nations have just ONE slot in the CEV Cup, while "smaller" nations have TWO.
It's just unbelievable that a P5 (5th place) finish in the Sultanlar Ligi or Serie A doesn't grant a CEV Cup entry.
This system is broken and needs to be changed.

It's not in Europe, but the 2026 Major League Volleyball season was really fun to follow, with high-quality matches and a truly balanced field, just like last night’s Championship Final.
The Dallas Pulse, an expansion team in their inaugural season, has taken the crown by beating the Omaha Supernovas in a five-set thriller: (20-25, 25-23, 15-25, 25-13, 15-9).
Too bad they won't take part in the 2026 FIVB Club World Championship.
Igor Novara has reached a deal with Julia Kudiess, Middle blocker from Brazil for the 2026/2027 Season.
