Eczacıbaşı Dynavit booked their place in the 2026 CEV Champions League Final Four, even though they fell 3-2 to KS DevelopRes Rzeszów in the second leg of the quarterfinal.
Coming in with a 3-1 win from the first match, the Turkish side needed just two sets to advance—and they got the job done early. Eczacıbaşı took control with two solid 25-17 wins, showing strength on serve and at the net to secure qualification.
After that, the momentum shifted. The home team stepped up, taking the next three sets 25-23, 25-15, and 15-12 to claim victory on the night, but it wasn’t enough to overturn the aggregate score.
Dana Rettke led Eczacıbaşı with 13 points, while the team finished with 15 blocks and six aces. On the other side, Oliwia Sieradzka starred for Rzeszów with 23 points and earned MVP honors.
Despite the loss, Eczacıbaşı move on to the semifinals, where they will face the winner of Fenerbahçe Medicana vs. Savino Del Bene Scandicci.
