2013 VOLLEYBALL SUPERCUP


The 2013 Volleyball Men’s Supercup will be disputed tomorrow at Pavilhão Municipal de Desportos de Vila do Conde (21h00 - local time). The match will be live covered by Sport TV.

The 15th edition will put head-to-head two of the strongest Portuguese teams. Sport Lisboa e Benfica, National Champion, and Associação Jovens Fonte Bastardo, 2012 Cup of Portugal winner.

Alexandre Afonso (AJFB Head Coach): “I don’t believe there are any favorites, as both teams want to get their hands on the trophy. I will be a balanced match with an uncertain ending. Above all, I’m hoping for a good show”.

On the other side of the net will be Ricardo Perini (setter) who has worn the colours of Fonte Bastardo and moved to Benfica this offseason.
“It will be a very difficult match, because Fonte Bastardo improved its roster, like we did. It will be a good match as both teams want to win despite not being yet in their maximum form. We’re growing as a team. The roster is good and we’ve maintained most of the players from last season. I arrived this year and I’m very happy what I’ve been experiencing here”.

Since 1990, several teams have won this trophy which puts head-to-head the previous season champion and the cup winner. Castelo da Maia GC with 5 trophies leads the list, followed by SC Espinho (4). Sporting CP (3) and SL Benfica (2) complete the list. [Previous Supercup winners]

Since 2004/2005, on which Benfica and Fonte Bastardo won the respective divisions, A1 and A2, these two teams faced for 33 occasions, combining National Championship, Cup of Portugal and Supercup with the following results:
