Panionios officially confirmed the signing of seasoned opposite hitter Polina Rahimova, marking a new step in the Azerbaijani athlete’s international career. Rahimova brings a wealth of experience to the Greek side as they gear up for domestic and European competitions next season.
In a statement, Rahimova expressed her enthusiasm about the move, noting that Panionios’ clear ambitions played a role in her decision. “It’s exciting to join a team with big goals. I look forward to contributing to what they’re building.”
The 34-year-old spent the last season in Brazil with Osasco, where she played a key role in winning three major titles — the Paulista Championship, Copa Brasil, and Superliga — all against her former club Sesi Bauru. Her consistent performance and attacking efficiency earned her widespread recognition, including praise from volleyball analysts and commentators.
Rahimova’s career spans multiple continents, having played in top leagues across Asia, Europe, and South America. Her addition is expected to bolster Panionios’ roster as they prepare for a competitive season ahead.
