Eight handy

Officials HRH reasonably assumed that in a pandemic we have played in Europe for teams of several countries will be difficult, so the Champions League has introduced additional jobs over the standard maximum quota of the national federations. Due to this suspended solution became possible, the Russian record in the men’s and women’s League Champions will play eight of our representatives. Champions and prize-winners of the Superleague will start to fight for trophies with the group stage and finished fourth, with qualification.

Thus, men in the struggle on the main stage will come “the locomotive” (Novosibirsk), “Zenit-Kazan” and Kemerovo “Kuzbass”, the girls – “Dinamo-AK bars” (Kazan), Lokomotiv (Kaliningrad region), “Uralochka-NTMK” (Sverdlovsk region). The qualifying meetings have the two teams Dynamo.

Required note: the Russian volleyball players “gold” in the spring took the team “Dinamo-Kazan”, but just a few days ago, she was renamed “Dinamo-AK bars”.
