Fenerbahçe Medicana Istanbul defeated PGE Budowlani Łódź 3–0 in their CEV Champions League 2026 Group B Matchday 3 clash at the Atlas Arena in Łódź, Poland. 

Despite missing Arina Fedorovtseva — denied a visa to enter Poland — the Turkish powerhouse showed their depth and quality, controlling the match from start to finish with set scores of 16–25, 20–25, 11–25.

Alessia Orro was named MVP thanks to her precise setting and leadership on court. Melissa Vargas led the way offensively with 17 points, while Hande Baladın added 13 and Ana Cristina Menezes Oliveira de Souza chipped in 12, underlining the balanced attack that kept Budowlani under pressure throughout. 

The victory not only highlights Fenerbahçe’s strength even without one of their stars, but also reinforces their ambitions in the Champions League this season.
