Meanwhile on the European front, awaiting the seasonal debut in the Pool E of the CEV Champions League, the Cucina association yesterday learned the name of the last opponent in the mini-group of the Main Phase. The Romanian team of Arcada Galati, in fact, was the best second in the 2nd preliminary round and thus joins the group that includes Cucine Lube Civitanova, Greenyard Maaseik (BEL) and VK Lvi Praha (CZE). Wednesday 22 November (8.30 pm), the home night match that will mark the seasonal debut of Luciano De Cecco and his teammates in the most prestigious European club tournament will be with Galati for a face-to-face match between the first and fourth seeds in Pool E.
