Isabelle Haak in action

The Swedish opposite of new world title-holders Prosecco Doc Imoco Conegliano, Isabelle Haak was named the Most Valuable Player of the Volleyball Women’s Club World Champs 2022 in Antalya. The 23-year-old standout claimed the honour for the second time in a row, after also receiving the award at last year's Club World Championship as a player of Türkiye’s VakifBank Istanbul.

1.95m-tall Haak was only the second player in the history of the competition to earn two MVP awards, after China’s Zhu Ting did so with VakifBank in 2017 and 2018.

The Swedish star also led a line-up of seven outstanding players who were honoured on the Club World Championship Dream Team during a memorable awarding ceremony after the final in Antalya on Sunday evening:
