For 2023, Alianza Lima's project is ambitious in all its areas. For example, in men's and women's soccer, it will seek the national three-peat, and in volleyball, it also aims to conquer the title.
While the team led by Guillermo Salas has started their preseason, the volleyball team is also training for the start of official matches.
Speaking of volleyball, the blanquiazul club already knows the date and opponent for its debut in the Liga Nacional Superior de Vóley (LNSV). It will be this Saturday, December 17, starting at 15:00 hours, against Túpac Amaru at the Polideportivo de Villa El Salvador.
Let's remember that for the 2022-2023 season, the victorian club hired Brazilian coach Rafael Prety, who replaces Carlos Aparicio. They also signed Russian middle blocker Irina Klimanova and had everything finalized with a Cuban opposite player.
Evilania Martinez was the chosen one, however, according to information from journalist Tabatha Belén on her Twitter account, the Central American player had visa problems and her arrival may not be finalized. Other foreign options are currently being evaluated.
Cenaida Uribe, the team manager, confirmed in statements to Azul y Blanco that within 10 to 15 days at the latest, they will have the foreign player with whom the squad will be completed.

It should be noted that Alianza Lima has reached the last finals of the LNSV and has not been able to win the title after losing to Regatas Lima. The last championship conquered by the volleyball team was in 1993. Will they be able to break that 30-year streak?
