The Buducnost volleyball team continues its competition in the MEVZA league by participating in the second tournament of the regional competition, where they will face the Zagreb teams Mladosti and Dinamo, as well as the OTP Banka Branik team from Maribor.
In the matches in Zagreb and Maribor, the coach of Podgorica, Luka Bogojević, expects his team to gain great experience, which will be important for the finals of the national competition.
"We are looking forward to playing in the MEVZA League tournament and very demanding matches against teams that are among the favorites of the competition. We are aware of the quality of our opponents, but matches like this are a real opportunity to see where we are currently and how much we have progressed as a team. I expect maximum approach, fighting spirit and focus from the players in every point. We want to play bravely, with a clear idea of the game, and to get the most out of every match. The experience from this tournament will be extremely important for our further work and represents good preparation for the challenges that await us in the domestic championship and the Cup," said Bogojević.
Buducnost and the leader of the Croatian Super League, Mladost, will open the competition at the "Bojan Stranić" hall on Tuesday, December 16, starting at 15 p.m. The following day, at the "Peščenica" sports hall, the only Montenegrin representative in the MEVZA women's volleyball league will play Dinamo, starting at 19 p.m., and on Thursday, Buducnost is expected to play a duel with OTP Banka Branik in Maribor, starting at 18 p.m.
