Efe Bayram still at Cisterna Volley. The Turkish spiker, 22 years old, 194 centimeters tall, will be at the start of the next Super League season once again with the Cisterna Volley shirt. For the hammer from Ankara, the next one will be the third participation in the top Italian volleyball championship which has seen him continue to grow. Efe Bayram was one of the protagonists who led Cisterna Volley to salvation in the previous season and also to come close to qualifying for the championship play-offs. Coach Guillermo Falasca’s team enthused the public and built, match after match, an attitude that often ignited the Cisterna sports hall.

«I am satisfied with what we did in the season just ended because we were aiming for salvation and we achieved it, even well in advance – clarifies Cristina Cruciani, sole administrator of Cisterna Volley – I always expect the next championship to be very complicated and competitive also because everyone knows the level of the Italian Super League, for this very reason I believe that salvation should never be taken for granted: I say this because the other teams are also preparing just like us. Then it is clear that, considering that we came close to qualifying for the play-offs, we can also think about constantly improving and therefore achieving an even more prestigious position could be a normal consequence.” Volleyball at the highest level in the area continues to make people’s passion grow and many citizens of Cisterna continue to crowd the arena together with many fans who also come from the surrounding areas and, in certain scheduled matches also from Rome and Naples given the ease of reach the arena thanks to the train station which borders the parking lot of the structure where the game is played. “My dream? I would have two – concludes Cruciani – seeing the stands increasingly full and colorful and then playing, certainly in the future, also international matches thanks to qualification for the European cups. To achieve both of these results we must all work in one direction.”

Efe Bayram is training with the Turkish national team but, in the last few days in Cisterna, he also had the opportunity to visit the splendid places around us, from Rome to Terracina.
