Calcit Kamnik of Slovenia qualified for the 2nd round of qualifications for the CEV Champions League Volley 2023 | Women. In the return match, they first took three sets against Croatia’s Mladost Zagreb (25-23, 25-19, and 25-22), and then won the Golden Set, 15-10.

In the 2nd round of qualifications, Calcit will face Serbia’s Crvena Zvezda Beograd, who eliminated Finland’s Pölkky Kuusamo yesterday (3-0 and 3-0).
As the host, led by Azerbaijani Ayshan Abdulazimova (12 points; 6 blocks), Hungary’s Vasas Óbuda Budapest beat Belgian VDK Gent Dames 3-0 in the second leg, thus advancing on the account of a double straight-set win. The Hungarian champions will face the Spanish titleholders, Tenerife La Laguna (who eliminated Bosnia’s Bimal-Jedinstvo Brčko), in the next round.
