It was an absolutely magical week for Romanian volleyball and an unforgettable experience for the whole Volleyball Forever community! The group stage of the European Championship (CEV 2026) ended last night in an electric atmosphere, with a monumental win for our national team against France – a qualification earned with heart, commitment and a show at the highest level!
Match after match in the stands – the fan section from the heart of Cluj!
Our players were in the hall for every match in the group, living every point, every block and every ace at full intensity. The high point was without doubt the game against Lithuania: more than 500 Volleyball Forever children, parents, coaches and supporters filled the stands at that match alone, forming a purple wall of energy, applause and tireless encouragement!
Seeing hundreds of the club’s girls shouting as one for Romania was pure proof that Volleyball Forever isn’t just a sports club, but a big family united by the same passion.
How does this European Championship change the future of our girls in Cluj?
Seeing world-class volleyball in your own city isn’t just a nice memory, but a huge source of inspiration that will leave a deep mark on our generations:
-
Real role models a few metres away: Our players saw live what determination, discipline and technique at the highest European level mean. Their role models are no longer just on a screen – they were right there, on the court in Cluj.
-
Extra motivation in practice: Living through the emotions of such a championship gives the girls extra ambition. At the next practices, every serve and every dive will carry the energy of the CEV 2026 matches.
-
Strengthening volleyball in Cluj: The visibility of this tournament and our massive presence in the hall show that women’s volleyball has a fantastic audience and a bright future in Cluj-Napoca. Our community is growing, becoming stronger and more respected.
Looking ahead with confidence!
Last night, with the superb win over France, showed us that the impossible becomes possible when there is a team, hard work and belief. This is the lesson we carry forward into our training halls, in every age group.
Thank you to all the more than 500 members of the Volleyball Forever family who turned the stands into an unforgettable show! Our girls’ journey is only beginning!
