The PalaBianchini will open its door one more time, but for the Challenge Cup final first leg against Fenerbahce on Wednesday night at 8.30pm. The return leg will be in Turkey on Saturday. Fenerbahce has an arena of 7000 seat capacity called the Burhan Falek Voleybol Salonu. In its history the Turkish club has won the league four times (2008, 2010, 2011 and 2012).

“They have an excellent team with three amazing players: Miljkovic, Marshall and Felipe – explained Dario Simoni – They are very good attacking high balls and they have a great jump serve. These kind of players always stand out in those important games. This will be very tough, we are not the favourites”.
