For the first time in the 15-year history of the Champions League, a Finnish team from any gender will participate, as LP SALO received the wild card for the next women’s competition.
“I am happy to see that the Champions League is expanding its geography to new countries,” CEV President André Meyer states. “This is our Confederation’s flagship club competition and it is important that fans from more and more of our member countries get to enjoy some of that Champions League fever. Finland has been a volleyball power in national team competitions for years and I am glad to see them progressing at the club level as well.”
