Saint-Raphaël recruited Japanese female volleyball international Arisa Inoue.
Two weeks after defending the colors of the Japan National Team in the final tournament of the 2022 FIVB Volleyball Nations League, Inoue found herself a new club – she joined Saint-Raphaël. The one-time French champions nearly completed the squad for 2022-23 by hiring the 27-year-old outside hitter, who could easily be one of the revelations of the next season in Ligue A.
Named MVP of the V.League and Japanese Cup, as well as the Best Outside Spiker of the V.League, last season, it’s clear that Inoue comes out of an exceptional year, winning a title in the national championship and cup with Hisamitsu Springs for which she played since 2017.
