Cucine Lube Civitanova added another piece to its roster for the upcoming season by signing Argentine opposite Pablo Kukartsev. The 203 cm powerhouse arrives after a strong showing in the 2025 Volleyball Nations League, where he tallied 33 points in two matches.
Kukartsev, 31, brings a wealth of international experience. He recently helped Tourcoing Lille Métropole win the French Cup and was named Best Opposite of the French League. He’s also played in top leagues across Argentina, Russia, Spain, Belgium, and France.
“I’m grateful for this opportunity,” said Kukartsev. “I’ve always admired Lube and its fans. I’m ready to give my all and grow with the team.”
