Legendary captain Jordan Larson, one of the most important figures in women’s voleyball, who has reached great achievements with US National Team and Eczacıbaşı VitrA ,bids farewell to the orange and white jersey that she has carried successfully since the 2014-15 season.
Larson has an imporant share in some of the Club’s greatest achievements such as the back-to-back World championships in 2015 and 2016, 2015 CEV Champions League gold medal, 2018 CEV Cup championship, 2018 Turkish Super Cup and 2019 Turkish Cup (AXA Sigorta Kupa Voley) championships. Jordan Larson carried the orange and white jersey distinctively for 5 years and has been the team captain in the last two seasons.
Addressing that Jordan will always remain as a legend in Eczacıbaşı Sports Club, team manager Nalan Ural added, “According to our captain’s preference to play in a league which lasts a shorter time, we decided to part ways by mutual agreement. We would like to thank Jordan for all her contributions to the Club as an athlete, friend and captain. We would also like to wish her good luck in the coming Olympic Games.”
The Club will also present her a plaque at the farewell dinner, which will take place tonight, to honour her unforgettable contributions in the last five years.
