The first group matches of the CEV Champions League will be played this week. Halkbank, one of the most important teams of the Giants League scene, will open the curtain with the French representative SAINT-NAZAIRE VB Atlantique in Ankara, live on EuroVolley.TV.

The first three points are the target, with team Captain Micah Kupono Ma'a, who made statements before the Champions League first test, stated that they want to start their European adventure with three points. Micah Ma said that they are aware that they would struggle against a team which comes from a country that became an Olympic champion two times in a row and stated that they are focused to the game and they have no other thoughts rather than starting with a win. 

“We are very excited to be in the Champions League this year as well. As a team, we are getting better and improving every day. We know the importance of starting the group with a win. In order to gain momentum and confidence, the win is very important. As Halkbank society, we are focused and we believe that we will get what we want and we want to see our fans with us.”

Getting out of the group is our priority, the talented setter said, “I think the next stage is related to how the team played in that part of the season. I think if we are playing well as a team, we can make some noise in the later stages and surprise some teams,” he commented.
