It seems Trabzonspor wants to join Sultanlar Ligi sooner or later. They may start from Voleybol 1. Ligi.
Will it be rebranded Trabzon Idman Okagi? Management, infrastructure?

We can finally put an end to this talk that Markova will become a Turkish citizen to play for Now United NT lol
It’s not the end yet …
It’s just a call for NT’s training camp and a friendly match. It’s not an official game.
Technically she keeps the opportunity for the change.
Only her participation in an official match as Russian NT member makes this case closed.
Probably someone’s explained to her that she won’t be able to play in LA with Turkish NT due to the duration of the naturalization procedure.
Turks say: “We’ll wait till next season”.
Moreover they think she’ll be included in Turkish NT roster in LA28. He-he-he.
Anyway … wait (one more year) and see … the end.
Some NCAA teams are trying their best to get foreign players now that they can pay them whatever they want, not even under the table anymore.
One team is giving 100k/year to a young European.
Another team is getting someone who played in A1 last year and will be paying them (or assumedly) way more than they'd get in Italy.
It looks like only one player will be able to get 100K in a team. Then it must be a really high level player.
It’s going to be a strange situation: 16 players get only scholarships and the one - scholarship and 100K.
Has NCAA canceled their prohibition for professional plyaers to admit to a program?
Goncharova isnt going 2 remain in Moscow?
Not yet. She is said to move to China.
Uralochka U18 team (Nikolay Karpol Academy) has a 203 cm tall player who is born 2011 and thus only 14 years old: Diana Dahlke.
Not bad for 14 years.
Rishat Gilyazutdinov is the new Dinamo Moscow Head Coach.
With Kapustina back, they need a good foreign OH to become challengers again.
With Lukyanova (OPP), Sinitsyna (S) and getting older Podkopaeva?
With limited financial resources?
Maybe …
Which teams are joining at first channel cup and Vietnam?
Last year it was like All-star match: Team Terzic vs. Team Karpol
I suppose it’ll be the same way this year.
I have no idea about participants in Vietnam.
Some changes in season’ schedule:
May 15-29 @ Novogorsk (camp)
May 23-25 @ Russia (First channel cup)
May 29 - June 2 @ Belgrad, Serbia (friendly matches)
(before Serbia departs to VNL Canada)
June 10-25 @ Novogorsk (camp)
June 26 - July 6 @ Vietnam (tournament)
September 1-15 @ Novogorsk (camp)
Natalya Kazka: Russia and Azerbaigian fought to naturalize her and she became Natalya Mammadova.
Skazka
It looks like (IMO) they, Russian and Azerbaijan, divided between themselves two players: Skazka and Tsokur (Makarova).
Has Goncharova ever spoken about why she played for Ukraine in the juniors teams? It seems strange to me, because Ukraine had a weak team and little tradition in this sport. Was Russia not interested in her at that time and only later did that change?
Weak? After that she and her sister moved to Dinamo Moscow. She was 17.
It's nice that you admitted your mistake instead of ignoring certain facts
That’s sarcastic admission.
By the way were all USSR/Russia Olympic champions’ coaches “originally” Russians?
Kleshchev - yes
Akhvilidiani - no - Georgian
Platonov - yes
Karpol - no - Belorusian
Alekno - no - Belorusian
Only two coaches were truly Russians.
For 60 years. Volleyball was introduced into Olympics in 1964.
Italy has never produced an Olympic champion coach, whether in the men's or women's competitions.
He’s an Italian, isn’t he?
Shanghai, have you watched it? )))
They said you hadn’t paid.
Enouuuugh with Antropova!
Good luck to her!
Second attempt. Not a good choice but for the banned period will be enough.
Anyway it’s unofficial yet.
Does anyone know which Russian club Kisy is going to? According to Bruno Voloch she has received a millionaire offer from Russia
Most probably (millionaire) - Kaliningrad
(Tapia is only till the end of this season)
Update: as Lukyanova moves to Moscow; Goncharova’s just married and who knows, so Kazan might be the second option.
You need the athlete's original federation to accept the naturalization request.
Markova has never played for Russia, but she is a member of their federation, as I said, they are not a poor country like Cuba and Romania that accepted a lot of money to let her go.
Her only way without the approval of the Russian federation would be through marriage, as was the case with Aguero.
“Acceptance” - everything’s explained in Ch.5
Cases with Aguero, Leon, Leal etc. are a bit old. The rules of the change of the origin federation changed in 2023. Marriage isn’t the only opportunity to change for Markova.
Informed website can’t have the information now cause it’s too early for the Application. Three years of residence for Markova will be in 2026.
Wait and see!
Display MoreTerzic had said in 2024 that Markova did not join the group because they had agreed to train with Vakif beforehand.
If she is not there this year, it is because of the tournament in Indonesia.
The naturalization process is not that simple, the Russian federation would have to give its approval and I doubt they will do so, even for an exorbitant amount of money, they do not need it like it was with Cuba and Romania.
Unless she has an arranged marriage like it was with the Cubans in Azerbaijan.
It’s a matter of choice to trust Terzic or not.
He didn’t want to take out Markova from her new club and preparation (she started August 12). Markova’s been in US for 4 years and then one year in Turkey.
Tolok has never played abroad before: August 5 Tolok started her practice in Italy and August 16-18 she’s already in Russia with the team.
It’s a fact.
Tournament in Indonesia doesn’t hinder to be included in the list at all. Voronkova’s last season might be as an example. And Indonesia Proleague is going to finish May, 12.
In case with Markova her naturalization won’t be so difficult exactly of her status “… player has not represented the senior national team of the Federation of Origin …” (5.1)
If VFR won’t approve this change, I’m sure they won’t, the FIVB Executive Committee have right to determine the change.
Anyway it’s her choice. Whatever it will be.
Being in the list means that a player might be invited in the national team this year and, in case Goncharova, Malova, Parubets, Kapustina, a club may get extra payments for these players.
Couldn't Markova's absence be explained by her commitments to the Indonesian League?
No. Her absence in the “list” can’t be explained by competing in Indonesia.
Last year Voronkova played in Indonesia and she was included in the “list”.
Moreover in last year’s list of candidates Markova was absent as well.
Thus we could say that VFR doesn’t rely on her in future. Why? Most probably because of her desire to change Federation.
Without Jack?
