From br-volleys.de:

2015 Champions League Final Four to be held in BERLIN.

What has been a far-fetched dream for the team of BERLIN Recycling Volleys some years ago, has evolved into a vision as time went by and eventually comes true now: The 2015 CEV DenizBank Volleyball Champions League FINAL FOUR will take place in Berlin from March 28-29 at Max-Schmeling-Halle – for the first time in its history on German ground. As host of the final round the club of Germany’s capital city is directly qualified for the tournament of the best European teams.

“Today is a happy day for the German Volleyball sport. To host the world’s most elitist club competition in our country is a great honour for our club, but mainly a huge pleasure for all Volleyball fans in Germany”, was the first reaction of the BERLIN club president Kaweh Niroomand on the CEV decision. “Together with our fans we want to celebrate a giant volleyball party. This is, the best European teams and world’s greatest players come together at out ‘volleyball temple’”, says Matthias Klee, the organizing director who represented the club in Luxemburg this Thursday, delightedly.

The competitive basis was laid by the six-fold German national champion with a confident 3-0 away win in LJUBLJANA this Tuesday claiming their spot in the Playoff 12. “We all were aware of the importance of this match and are happy to have withstood this pressure. Now we are looking forward to the FINAL FOUR as this event will be a milestone in every player’s career”, Scott Touzinsky, 2008 Olympic champion, said when informed in the CEV decision in Luxemburg.

Which teams will make their way through to BERLIN will be decided by the following knock-out phase matches within the up-coming eight weeks. These are the Playoff 12 matches:

VfB FRIEDRICHSHAFEN (GER) vs Asseco Resovia RZESZOW (POL)
Tomis CONSTANTA (ROU) vs Lokomotiv NOVOSIBIRSK (RUS)
JASTRZEBSKI Wegiel (POL) vs Sir Safety PERUGIA (ITA)
Cucine Lube TREIA (ITA) vs PGE Skra BELCHATOW (POL)
Copra Volley PIACENZA (ITA) vs Zenit KAZAN (RUS)
Halkbank ANKARA (TUR) vs Belogorie BELGOROD (RUS)

For those who cannot wait until the end of March, the club of BERLIN Recycling Volleys has just launched their official FINAL FOUR website www.berlin2015.br-volleys.de on which Volleyball fans from Berlin, Germany and entire Europe can already grasp some FINAL FOUR atmosphere. Providing information on the tournament and a community to join by all volleyball enthusiasts also the Facebook fan page www.facebook.com/CLfinal4 was created and is online from now on!
