Bio
Born in Sarajevo, Ivan was raised in Čapljina (BIH) and his gym teacher dragged him to the volleyball court. Highlights include, championship with HAOK Mladost in 2008, 2nd place in Challenge Cup in 2010, Greek Cup in 2021, Gold in Silver European League. Now he has a family so most free time is spent with his wife and children.
While two leaders France and Germany can feel comfortable at the top of Pool D, the remaining four teams keep fighting for their survival in the competition. Today’s second match in the group between Estonia and Croatia is crucial for both teams, hoping to qualify for the playoffs. Estonia have quite some things to celebrate already before the match – their lead attacker in this tournament Oliver Venno will represent the national team for the 200th time today. Team’s middle blocker Andri Aganits, on the other hand, is celebrating his 28th birthday. With the support of their home crowd, team Estonia is hoping to give the fans a reason to party after the match as well.
