🔹Monika Krastevawill play in theChampions Leaguewith the new champion of Romania -Volley Alba Blaj.
🔹Mira Todorovawill compete withCSO Voluntariin theCEV Cup.
👉Both Bulgarians will play with these teams if they extend their contracts with them and are registered for the respective tournaments.

Volley Alba Blaj will enter directly into thegroup stage of the Champions Leaguethanks to Romania's 9th place in the CEV coefficient ranking (106.33 points). This is the last spot that gives a direct quota for the groups of the most prestigious European club tournament.

In addition,Romania is #1 in the overall CEV Cup and Challenger Cup rankingswith an impressive coefficient of 274.00 - ahead of traditionally strong volleyball nations like Italy, France, Germany, and Turkey.

And Hungary enters the Champions League group stage!
