There is a very special and exciting event coming up for all volleyball fans and slated for next June 26 in Vienna. The 2009 European Volleyball Gala, to be staged in the magnificent scenario of the local Town Hall, will host not only the traditional Drawing of Lots for the 2009/2010 CEV Indesit Champions League but also – and this is a real premiere – the first DOL ever live-televised for the CEV Cups.
Such an intense evening for the European volleyball family will tip off with the DOL for the CEV Cups, starting out with the women’s division to proceed then with the men and finally continue with the much awaited definition of the preliminary pools to be arranged for the most prestigious volleyball club competition worldwide, i.e. the Champions League.
Representatives of the European Volleyball Confederation, along with sponsors and partners, plus officials of the various clubs and National Federations concerned will be attending the gala which is to be aired by ORF Sport and will be also available in live streaming at www.laola1.tv
With 24 and 16 teams already registered in the CEV Indesit Champions League for men and women respectively, the starting line-up for the 2009/2010 CEV Cups will be completed next weekend in Luxembourg as the members of the European Cups Commission (ECC) resume to the CEV headquarters located in the Grand Duchy to finalize the preliminary preparations for the next Cups season.
Mrs. Riet Ooms, CEV Vice President and ECC President, comments: “We are really pleased that for the first time ever the DOL of the CEV Cups will be public and televised. We should always keep in mind that very strong and competitive teams are entering all our Cups, so there is no reason to see any difference in their status. This event is going to serve as a real boost for promoting the European Cups across all sports fans. We are not simply aiming at targeting our traditional audience, we want more and more people to join our volleyball family and this gala is a real tool for achieving such an ambitious task as it combines a wonderful scenario with that little bit of anxiety deriving from the results of the Drawing that all the fans and clubs are so eagerly waiting for. I really hope that many die-hard fans will be watching that show and enjoy the great atmosphere our Austrian partners and friends are constantly able to set up there”.
