The son of former national coach Martin Stoev, Erik, played a very strong match for his Damac Saudi club, which made a complete comeback in their away game against Khouwildiah with a score of 2:3 (30:28, 25:18, 21:25, 28:30, 12:15). Erik finished with 21 points (3 aces, 1 block), recording 77% success in attack and 86% (!) perfect reception. Stoev-junior is the youngest foreigner in the Saudi Pro League, where from next season they will be allowed 4 foreigners, but one or two under 23 years old. Now there are only two. In the league, 12 teams play, with 24 foreigners. Erik has shared with his close ones that he really likes the food and has gained 5 kg of muscle mass. Currently, Damac Saudi Club, led by Monem Bensalem from Tunisia, is in seventh place in the standings, and on December 7th, they have a match against the champions from Al Hilal, where Velizar Chernokozhev also played last season.
