Luxembourg, April 12, 2021. Croatia will be one of the four
host countries for this year’s EuroVolley Women event, alongside Romania,
Bulgaria and Serbia later this summer and two of the biggest names from the
Croatian national team have been chosen to be part of the Ambassadors
Programme.
The Ambassadors Programme brings
together two fantastic players from each of the four host countries per gender.
In the coming months leading up to the start of the events, the eight Ambassadors
will be actively engaging with fans across all CEV platforms and beyond, taking
everyone along on the EuroVolley 2021 journey via exclusive content especially
designed to give fans a sneak peek into their own experiences.
Over the next days we will
continue to gradually announce the Ambassadors from each host country, and
after announcing the Ambassadors from Romania, time has come to reveal the
Ambassadors from Croatia: Samanta Fabris and Nikolina Božičević.
Nikolina Božičević: "I am
really honoured and excited to be an ambassador of EuroVolley. Especially since
my country is one of the hosts for this competition."
Nikolina Božičević grew up in the
capital city of Croatia, Zagreb and enjoyed playing all sports as a child, but
mostly the ones that included a ball. Her mum played volleyball and watching
her developed Nikolina’s love for the sport which grew since the very first
day. Before volleyball she was involved in athletics, basketball, tennis and gymnastics,
until there was a new volleyball club in her part of the town called HAOK
Dubrava. There she started her volleyball journey which developed into playing
as Libero for the best club in Zagreb - HAOK Mladost.

Samanta Fabris: "It will be
a pleasure to host such tournament as EuroVolley. It would definitely be better
for us in terms of atmosphere at the matches."
Samanta Fabris was born on 8 February 1992 in Pula, Croatia.
She comes from a small town in Istria and grew up there living with her mom,
dad, brother and sister. She has been playing volleyball from the age of 14,
and before volleyball played tennis.
