Galatasaray HDI Insurance men's volleyball team concluded its participation in the 2025 AXA Insurance Cup for men after losing in the quarterfinals to Istanbul Gençlik Spor. The 'Net Lions' lost 1:3 (25-22, 23-25, 20-25, 19-25) at TVF Burhan Felek Vestel Hall, with the absence of key receiver Martin Atanasov being palpable. The Bulgarian international did not participate in the match due to an injury sustained in the game against Fenerbahçe, with Denis Karyagin also injured. Atanasov's absence significantly weakened the team's attacking power. Galatasaray HDI Insurance started the match with a starting six including: Arslan, Cardoso, Doğukan, Patry, Zaytsev, Ahmet, Hasan (libero), and Caner (libero).
In the contested match, Jean Patry was the team's top scorer with 17 points, Victor Cardoso added 16, and Ivan Zaytsev contributed 13.
Despite the disappointment of being eliminated from the Cup, Galatasaray received good news - Martin Atanasov has resumed training. This was revealed by sports journalist Eva Mak's post on the social network X, giving fans hope that the Bulgarian will soon be available again for important matches until the end of the season.

Galatasaray HDI Insurance's next challenge is an away game against Ziraat Bankkart on Saturday, March 24, 2025, at 7:30 PM, in a match from the SMS Group Efeler League.
