    Team profile

    2014 Swiss champions Volero Zurich defeated Volley Köniz in the final of the National League A Championship. They confirmed their status as the best Swiss women’s volleyball team, winning a ninth national title in 10 years.

    Volero claimed the league in the third game of their final against Volley Köniz, with a 3-0 (25-23, 25-14 and 25-17) win. Volero are also on a run of 78 wins in Switzerland, with their last loss dating back to January 2012 in Neuchâtel.

    The team finished fourth in the FIVB Women’s Club World Championships 2013, which Volero also hosted. Volero’s president Stav Jocobi says the team’s dominance on the national scene points to a bright future. The club's goal is to win the Champions League in the next two years.
