Herceg Novi without foreign players in the Super Cup: We apologize to loyal fans and supporters

The Women's Volleyball Super Cup match between Buducnost and Herceg Novi will be played at the University Sports and Cultural Center of Montenegro in Podgorica today (18), which will be an overture to the upcoming season.

But, the Novi club announced that there will be no foreign players in tonight's match, who are not registered "due to administrative obstacles the club is facing."

This means, as announced, that Herceg Novi's squad tonight will include players from the club's junior teams.

"Dear fans of the Volleyball Club Herceg Novi, volleyball lovers and the entire sports public, we feel the need to address you in order to share the latest information and specific circumstances regarding our club, and especially our team's performance in today's Super Cup match. Unfortunately, due to administrative obstacles facing the club, we were unable to register our foreign reinforcements, who make up a significant part of this year's squad, within the stipulated deadline. Accordingly, they will not be eligible to play in today's match," Herceg Novi said in a statement.

The Novi club emphasizes that "they would like to express their sincere apology to all our loyal fans and supporters."

"At the time the match was announced, we had information and expectations that the registration of the players would be completed within the scheduled time, which is why we believed that we would welcome today's match with a full squad. Despite all the circumstances, our younger teams and some of the home players will take to the field today, who will give their maximum and represent our club's emblem in a dignified manner. We are aware of the responsibility we have towards our fans, the club and the city we represent. That is precisely why we want to remain open and transparent towards the public in these challenging times. Thank you for your understanding and support," said Herceg Novi.
