The Indonesian Proliga is getting stronger by each year. Several respectable names of the world volleyball decided to take part in this year’s edition, including one-time FIVB World League and FIVB World Cup winner with the U.S. national team, Paul Lotman.
Besides Lotman, who will definitely be the main star of the tournament, the Slovakian opposite Martin Nemec is another big name playing in Proliga this season. A 33-year-old player, one-time CEV Challenge Cup, and Italian league winner, recently parted ways with an Italian Division 2 side Emma Villas Siena and will compete for Palembang Bank Sumsel Babel.
