Grozer goes to Indonesia, a new clash with Martin Atanasov is coming

German volleyball legend Georg Grozer will reinforce Jakarta Lavani Livin Transmedia for the Proliga 2026 Final Four, after finishing his season in China with bronze medals for Shanghai Bright.
This sets up a new duel with Bulgarian national player Martin Atanasov, who plays for Jakarta Bhayangkara Presisi.


The two already met at the World Championship in the Philippines, where Bulgaria defeated Germany 3:0 (40:38, 25:22, 25:20) — a success that marked the beginning of their journey to the silver medals.
