VC Wiesbaden signs Spanish volleyball talent López Rey!

VC Wiesbaden has brought a real top-class player into the team with the 19-year-old Spanish volleyball player Cayetana López Rey. Her move marks an important step as part of the club's new strategy "VCW@2030", which aims to establish the club as a leading talent factory in German women's volleyball. How Wiesbaden is alive reports, López Rey comes from the Rote Raben Vilsbiburg, with whom she celebrated runner-up status in the 2nd Women's Volleyball Bundesliga last season.

However, the Red Raben's promotion to the first league failed due to a licensing decision. Now López Rey, who was most recently named MVP of the 2024/2025 season, is doing everything she can to show off with the VCW in the coming season. She scored impressive scores this season, including 30 against Oythe and 28 against Borken, reinforcing her position as one of the best players in the 2nd division. Managing director Christopher Fetting sees this commitment as a milestone for the future of the club.

A promising talent

Cayetana López Rey not only brings talent, but also an impressive height of 184 cm. Already during her time with the Behind Rottens Vilsbiburg she was able to demonstrate a high level of responsibility and a positive charisma. Her head coach Tigin Yağlioğlu has observed her for over three years and is convinced that she has great development potential. “She is an energetic athlete with clear sporting goals,” says sports director Benedikt Frank, describing the talented player who is looking forward to the challenge in the 1st Bundesliga.

López Rey herself has already announced that she is aiming for a debut with the Spanish national team in June. This represents both a personal and sporting challenge that motivates them to do their best. In the new team she will once again face well-known opponents in the 1st Bundesliga, including teams like ETV Hamburg and Skurios Volleys Borken.

Focus on youth work

In addition to López Rey, Libera Rene Sain and young talent Marlene Rieger also extended their contracts, underlining the club's efforts to continue to rely heavily on young talent in the coming season. Marlene Rieger is considered a prime example of VC Wiesbaden's successful youth work. The club has not only consolidated economically in recent years, but has also ensured that the players are provided with the best development opportunities.

The volleyball community can look forward to an exciting new chapter when López Rey and her new teammates join the action in August 2025. How vc-wiesbaden.de reports, it will also be exciting in the international match of the German women's national volleyball team against Switzerland on August 6th in Wiesbaden, and we are excited to see how the new VC Wiesbaden team will fare in the coming season. With a solid squad and the “VCW@2030” strategy, the Wiesbaden women have an exciting year ahead.

For all volleyball fans and those interested, it now remains to be seen how the new team will develop and whether it can meet the high expectations. Time will tell whether VC Wiesbaden manages to establish itself in the 1st Bundesliga and achieve great success. Mirror also reports that these developments are of great importance in German women's sport and will continue to help women's volleyball become a strong location.
