Official announcement! Ivan Zaitsev joins the Serie A Kuneo Men s Volleyball Team

On May 18, the Italian volleyball world ushered in another major transfer! After weeks of rumors brewing, Cuneo Volley officially announced that Ivan Zaytsev will join the team next season to compete in the 2025-2026 Italian Men's Volleyball Super League A1 League!

The news was announced by club chairman Gabriele Costamagna himself at the team's celebration of promotion to the A1 League. Zaitsev himself also made a debut through a live big-screen video, announcing his franchise decision to the fans, instantly igniting the enthusiasm of the whole audience.

Zaitsev, 36, is one of the most representative stars in the history of the Italian national team. He not only has strong spiking ability and stable back-row protection, but also is widely loved by fans for his passionate game style and super leadership temperament. At the club level, he has played for Moderna, Perugia, Milan, Galatasaray and other teams, and is one of the most influential stars in the international volleyball world.

The choice to join Cuneo, who has just been upgraded to the A1 league, undoubtedly injects great confidence and attention into this team. "I am very excited to be a member of the Cuneo Volleyball Team. This is a decision full of dreams and challenges. I can't wait to wear a white and blue jersey and stand on the court to fight for the team."

Cuneo Volleyball Club is a team with a long history, which has performed well this season. The team just swept Brescia 3-0, won the Super Cup championship, won the A-level qualification, and achieved double happiness. Zaitsev's joining is undoubtedly the third good news of this celebration.

For a team that has just returned to the top league, having such a world-class player joining not only improves the team's combat effectiveness, but also means greater attention and stronger attraction. Lao Za's joining Cuneo this time is another turning point in his career. He chose to return to a newly promoted A1 team. Zaitsev is more like a "team big brother" and will use his own experience and courage to drive the growth of young teams.
