Line-up complete for 4th round of the #CLVolleyW

Following the conclusion of the Round 3 of the CEV Zeren Group Champions League Volley 2026 qualifiers, the 4th round of the European premium competition is now set.

After the first leg of the matches, there were four favourites to progress to the pools of the competition and there was no mighty comeback, as three sides registered 3:0 wins, with another dropping their match, 2:3, but progressing due to winning the first leg, 3:1.

Maritza Plovdiv will be returning to the pool phase of the CEV Zeren Group Champions League, after two straightforward 3:0 wins against OK Dinamo Zagreb and will head to Pool E, where they are due to face Developres Rzeszów, SSC Palmberg Schwerin and Levallois Paris Saint Cloud.

French side Volero Le Cannet also secured a 3:0 clear win in the second leg against Janta Volej Kisela Voda, after winning their first match 3:1, and will complete a monster Pool A, where VakifBank Istanbul, Savino Del Bene Scandicci and CS Volei Alba Blaj were already waiting.

After a 3:1 home win, Sport Lisboa e Benfica also delivered another win, 3:0, against OTP Banka Branik Maribor, to secure their tickets, and will head to Pool B, alongside Fenerbahçe Medicana Istanbul, Grot Budowlani Łódź and Igor Gorgonzola Novara.

While they might have lost their match against Vasas Óbuda Budapest, 2:3, Olympiacos Piraeus progressed to the 4th round, thanks to the 3:0 home win, and will head to Pool C, alongside Numia Vero Volley Milano, Eczacibasi Istanbul and OK Železničar Lajkovac.
