The TVF Sport Complex of Ankara will host both Cev Cup semis as the two teams of the city are still in contention for the title. Latina will meet the Maliye Milli Piyango Ankara, while the second semi-final puts face to face the Halkbank Ankara and Lokomotiv Kharkiv. Ankara defeated Orion Doettinchem in the first round, then Jastrzebski at the golden set despite losing the first leg 3-1 at home, then they got rid of Antwerp (Belgium) at the golden set again, while in the quarters they overcame the Czech of Budejovice.
“We have worked hard in the gym to prepare this game – said Jarosz – This semi-final is an important moment of the season. We’re expecting a difficult and long contest. The atmosphere is always heated in Turkey, the fans always have a positive influence on their team but I have good memories from this country: the European Championships victory in Smirne in 2009 when we beat France in the final”.
