Chinese women s volleyball team Wang Yuanyuan appeared at dinner Galatasaray officially announced 5 new players appeared at the press conference

Recently, Galatasaray women's volleyball team held a signing ceremony for the 2025-2026 season in Istanbul. Dutch deputy attacker Eline Timmerman, Poland main attacker Martyna Lukasik, Italian star Myriam Sylla, Belgian supporter Kaja Grobelna and US main attacker Alexandra Frantti, all five world-class players made their debut, putting on a yellow and red jersey for the new season.

Although Chinese women's volleyball team deputy attacker Wang Yuanyuan failed to attend the signing ceremony due to training arrangements, she then appeared at the welcome dinner. The scene swept away and made a brief appearance, which aroused heated discussion among fans.

The dinner was attended by the club's Mohamed Gibala, board member Timuir Kuban, and women's volleyball manager Neshvi Biyukbairam, etc., demonstrating the club's emphasis on the new season. The new players expressed their recognition of the Galatasaray women's volleyball team and their expectations for the new season at the ceremony.

It is worth noting that at this signing ceremony, Vice Chairman Mohamed Sibala specifically mentioned the reasons why Wang Yuanyuan failed to attend. He said: "She would have participated in today's signing, but because the training plan conflicts with the team's rhythm, he failed to attend. We will see her at tonight's welcome dinner." The scene at the dinner only appeared very briefly. Wang Yuanyuan appeared in black clothes this time and communicated with the team. Since she is still in Tianjin Bohai Women's Volleyball Bank, she made a very low-key appearance and missed the photo. However, the brief appearance also caused widespread discussion among Chinese and Turkish fans. Many fans on social media left comments: "Wang Yuanyuan's temperament is amazing!", "The Sino-Turkey connection is successful, Galatasaray women's volleyball team is really a grand team!" The club expressed high expectations for the new season. The team's senior manager Timuir Kuban said: "All fans and friends are welcome. We have achieved good results last year. This year we have strengthened our lineup and aimed directly at domestic and foreign competitions."

Vice Chairman Mohamed Sibala Emphasized: "We originally planned to build a championship team in the 5th to 6th years, but now we are ahead of the 4th year. The CEV Cup will be our most important goal. We will do our best to win the championship on the European stage!"

Wang Yuanyuan, the main deputy attacker of the Chinese women's volleyball team, has rich experience in the competition. After that, her arrival not only increased the team's network interface, but also brought the injection of Oriental volleyball power to Galatasaray. Her stable performance in the Tianjin women's volleyball and the national team in the past made her the mainstay in the world's deputy attack line.

Galatasaray women's volleyball team has built a world-class "Galaxy Lineup". In the upcoming new season, this Turkish Super League powerhouse will sprint towards the CEV Cup champion and the Turkish Women's Volleyball Super League champion. The "Red and Yellow Army" is ready to go, and fans are also looking forward to whether the team can break the monopoly of strong teams and write their own new golden era, which is worth looking forward to.
