The Polish team, coached by former Serbian volleyball player Nikola Grbić, a day earlier defeated Italy’s Itas Trentino 3-1 in the 2021 CEV Champions League final in the northern Italian city of Verona.
The CEV Volleyball Champions League is the top official annual competition for men's volleyball clubs in Europe.
It is run by the European Volleyball Confederation, the sport's continental governing body also known by its French name of Confédération Européenne de Volleyball, or CEV.
ZAKSA, who are based in Kędzierzyn-Koźle, a mid-sized industrial town in southern Poland, became only the second Polish volleyball club in history to win the prestigious tournament.
In 1978, Poland’s Płomień Milowice triumphed in the competition when it was called the CEV European Champions Cup.
