ACH Volley prepares for European season opener in Netherlands

Ljubljana based volleyball club ACH Volley is set to begin its European season this Wednesday against the Dutch team Orion Stars Doetinchem. The match marks the second round of qualifications for the Champions League.

ACH Volley enters the competition following a strong domestic start, having secured the Slovenian Supercup and early league victories against Panvito Pomgrad, i-Vent Maribor, and Krko. While the Slovenian champions are considered favorites for the upcoming match, players Rok Bračko and Tonček Štern emphasized the need to perform on the court to justify that status.

Orion Stars Doetinchem advanced to this stage after defeating the Macedonian team UGD Štip in the first qualifying round. ACH Volley previously faced the Dutch side in last year's qualifications, emerging successful in that encounter.
