During the preliminary stage of the Russian Volleyball Cup in St. Petersburg, the Lipetsk team stayed at Domina Pulkovo, where the athletes were provided with comfortable conditions for accommodation, rest, and recovery between matches.

The team played four games in the tournament. The start was challenging: in the opening match against the home side, Korabelka, Lipetsk lost 0–3. In the second game against Lokomotiv-2 from Kaliningrad, the result was the same — another 0–3 defeat. In their third match against Sakhalin, the team managed to put up a fight and even take a set, but the final score ended 1–3 in favor of their opponents.

The concluding match against Zabaikalka turned out to be a success for Lipetsk. The team looked confident, played in a disciplined manner, and secured a convincing 3–0 victory, finishing the group stage on a positive note.

We are proud that during the competition the Lipetsk players chose Domina Pulkovo, and we sincerely wish the team continued success and many more bright victories ahead!
