This is probably the most striking volleyball transfer in the ongoing season. Not because of the name of a player nor because of the club from which or in which the player came... But, because this player moved from Men’s to Women’s club!

As volleyball.it reports, a 32-year-old Brazilian Tifanny Pereira de Abreu has left the Belgian Men’s Division 2 team JTV Dero Zele-Berlare and joined the Italian Women’s Division 2 (Serie A2) side Golem Software Palmi!

Tifanny used to be a male under the name Rodrigo before undergoing a sex change in 2014. He recently got the green light from the International Volleyball Federation (FIVB) to switch to women’s competitions.

As a man, Tifanny played professionally in the homeland, Portugal, France, Spain, Indonesia, The Netherlands, and Belgium. One of the teams whose member Tifanny was during her Men’s career was Paris Volley, the current French champions.
