Torino to welcome #CLVolleyM Final Four for epic final showdown!
News
The vibrant city of Torino will provide the stage to crown the ‘Kings of European Volleyball’ for 2026 with the Final Four of the CEV Champions League Volley 2026 Men due to take place at the iconic Inalpi Arena this coming May 16-17. The agreement reached with the Italian Volleyball Federation (FIPAV) and local authorities will allow all parties to capitalise on the successful experience from the 2023 Super Finals held at the very same venue.
Torino and the Inalpi Arena have become synonymous with elite sport since the 2006 Winter Olympics and through the many more major events held there ever since, such as the annual ATP Tour Finals, and – from a Volleyball perspective – the final stage of the 2018 FIVB Men’s World Championship and the 2023 CEV Champions League Volley Super Finals, which ended with the triumphs of Grupa Azoty KEDZIERZYN-KOZLE and VakifBank ISTANBUL.
The top four men’s teams in Europe will convene in mid-May to play for the coveted CEV Champions League Volley trophy, with titleholders Sir Sicoma Monini PERUGIA of Italy among those in contention following a dominant performance in the pool stage of the competition.
“I believe we all have and share very fond memories of the highly successful Super Finals held in Torino in 2023. We wish to capitalise on that success to deliver yet another memorable Final Four and experience for teams, fans, and all stakeholders alike. I am grateful to our friends and colleagues at the Italian Volleyball Federation and to the local authorities for all their support in such a major endeavour, which will help us showcase Volleyball at its very best,” says CEV President Roko Sikirić. “Fans get ready for an epic final showdown to cap an already drama-filled season.”
“The decision to organise the 2026 Men’s Champions League Final Four in Torino was made in full cooperation with the CEV. The Inalpi Arena is a venue that has already hosted successful national and international Volleyball events, including the 2018 Men’s World Championship Final and the 2023 CEV Champions League Super Finals. These events left an extraordinary impression in terms of organisation and audience participation,” adds the President of the Italian Volleyball Federation, Giuseppe Manfredi. “Torino guarantees competence, passion, and organisational skills. We are confident that the city will respond with the same enthusiasm as before, filling the venue and creating an atmosphere worthy of such a prestigious event. The public will witness a wonderful spectacle worthy of the highest European club competition in a setting that enhances Volleyball and its values.”
Further information, including the launch of the ticket sale, will follow in due course. Fans can already save the dates and get ready to enjoy a real Volleyball party in a city that combines history, immense cultural heritage, Italian style and flavour with a total passion for elite sport and everything that goes with it!
