News from the clubs
Timisoara, Romania, September 4, 2018. Serbian star libero Teodora Pušić will wear the shirt of UVT Agroland TIMISOARA in the 2018/2019 season. UVT Agroland are currently preparing for their debut in the 2019 CEV Volleyball Challenge Cup and for their national championship as well.
The 25-year-old Pušić – a gold medallist from the 2017 CEV European Championship – will join her new team after the 2019 FIVB Volleyball Women’s World Championship. During the last season, Pušić claimed the silver medal from the Bundesliga with Allianz MTV STUTTGART and reached the semis of the CEV Cup.
“I heard that the coach is good, and that UVT Agroland TIMISOARA have really nice conditions when it comes to training. On top of this, I heard that Timisoara is nice and one of prettiest city in Romania. Therefore, when you combine these things, I think I will be happy there. I know that the level of the Romanian championship is high and it is getting stronger with each year, which is important for me. I have lots of friends who are and who were playing in this league,” Pušić said.
The talented libero is going to start practices with UVT Agroland TIMISOARA only after the 2019 FIVB Volleyball Women’s World Championship in Japan, where Serbia will be vying for a medal.

“In addition to the Olympic Games, the World Championship is definitely the biggest competition for us. Of course we are chasing one of the medals, and normally gold is my favourite one,” she added.
UVT Agroland TIMISOARA signed another two international players this summer: Romanian middle blocker Roxana Iancu and Slovakian setter Barbora Kosekova. In addition, Katarina Jovanović (an experienced outside hitter from Serbia), Sorina Miclaus and Anca Ioana Manuc (outside hitters from the local academy) and Cybill Naomi Catargiu (a libero from the academy as well) joined the club based in Timisoara too.
