The Polish team, coached by former Romanian volleyball player Gheorghe Crețu, on Sunday defeated Italy’s Itas Trentino 3-0 in the 2022 CEV Champions League final in the Slovenian capital Ljubljana to defend their title.
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, defended their title after they last year became the second Polish volleyball club to win the prestigious tournament.
In 1978, Poland’s Płomień Milowice triumphed in the competition when it was called the CEV European Champions Cup.
