Challenge Cup: only one match played – Sporting – Giesen 3-0

The men’s CEV Challenge Cup program has been literally decimated. Yesterday, 3 November, only one match was played with Sporting’s 3-0 win against Giesen. At the last moment the second leg match between Omonia Nicosia and Gio Strumica was canceled with the Macedonians who had to flee to avoid the closure of the Cyprus airport.
