Unet Yamamay BUSTO ARSIZIO will be playing Dinamo KAZAN on Saturday night in the ‘grand finale’ of the 2017 CEV Volleyball Cup – Women. The Italian ‘Butterflies’ will be trying to make amends for their 1-3 loss in Russia and claim their third title in the competition – they already stood on top of the podium in 2010 and 2012. In order to achieve this feat, UYBA need to win 3-0 or 3-1 and after that to emerge victorious also from the eventual all-deciding Golden Set. As for Dinamo KAZAN, the Russians need to take ‘only’ two sets to seize their second European trophy – in 2014 they won the CEV Volleyball Champions League at the Finals held in Baku, Azerbaijan.

Though they lost 1-3 on Tuesday night, the Italian team travelled back home knowing that they stand a chance of achieving a comeback. The home fans will play a key role in achieving this goal: 2,500 tickets were sold already and the organisers expect a full house on Saturday at Palayamamay when UYBA take to the court against the Russian ‘armada’.
