VakıfBank S.K. has once again proven its dominance in European volleyball, defeating Eczacıbaşı Dynavit 3-1 in the final of the CEV Women’s Champions League in Istanbul.

VakıfBank started strong, winning the first two sets (25-20, 25-21). Eczacıbaşı fought back to take the third set, but VakıfBank regained control and sealed the match in the fourth set (25-18), securing their seventh Champions League title.

Led by coach Giovanni Guidetti, VakıfBank went through the entire tournament unbeaten, showing remarkable consistency at the highest level.

Eczacıbaşı, who last won the title in 2015, put up a strong fight but fell short in this high-stakes all-Turkish clash—the second time these two teams have met in a Champions League final.

With both finalists from Türkiye, the country continues to dominate women’s volleyball globally, now boasting 27 international club titles.
