Fresh from the important and precious success in the SuperLega Credem Banca against Piacenza, Cucine Lube Civitanova is now preparing for its European debut: tomorrow, Thursday 14 November, Giampaolo Medei’s team will be on stage at 6.00 pm in the Czech Republic, on the occasion of the first leg of the Round of 32 of the Challenge Cup Final.
On the other side of the net there will be the home team of VK Karlovarsko, already faced – and beaten – by Civitanova in the last edition of the Champions League: in the Czech city of Karlovy Vary Medei will once again have to do without Eric Loepkyy, who stopped shortly before the SuperLega Credem Banca match against Piacenza.
The Cucineri qualified for the CEV Challenge Cup by virtue of their success at the end of the 5th Place Play Offs, which guaranteed entry into the European competition.
