Turin (Torino) will once again welcome Europe’s elite volleyball clubs as the city hosts the CEV Champions League Volley 2026 Men’s Final Four on May 16–17 at the Inalpi Arena.
The agreement between the European Volleyball Confederation (CEV), the Italian Volleyball Federation (FIPAV), and local authorities brings the continent’s top four men’s teams back to a venue that has already staged some of volleyball’s biggest nights. Organizers are looking to replicate the success of the 2023 Super Finals, also held in Turin.
That 2023 showdown saw Poland’s Grupa Azoty Kędzierzyn-Koźle crowned men’s champions, while VakifBank Istanbul lifted the women’s trophy, capping a memorable weekend for fans inside a packed arena.
Turin built a strong reputation for hosting major sporting events since the 2006 Winter Olympics, including the ATP Tour Finals and the 2018 FIVB Men’s World Championship Final. Volleyball officials believe the city’s experience and passion make it an ideal setting for another high-stakes European finale.
Defending champions Sir Sicoma Monini Perugia are expected to be among the contenders after a dominant pool stage performance this season, setting the stage for what promises to be a dramatic title race.
CEV President Roko Sikirić said the goal is to deliver another unforgettable event for teams and supporters, while FIPAV President Giuseppe Manfredi expressed confidence that Turin will once again fill the arena and create an atmosphere worthy of Europe’s premier club competition.
