OK Financial Group gives up on renewing contract with MVP Leo… Draft is coming out
Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance also bids farewell to Yosbani… Renewal of contract with KB Insurance and Viena
Leonardo Leiva Martinez (34, registered name Leo), who won the Most Valuable Player Award (MVP) in the 2023-2024 season of the professional volleyball men’s regular season, appears in the draft market. 온라인카지노
The Korea Volleyball Federation (KOVO) announced on the 10th, the deadline for applications for men’s foreign player tryout contract renewal, that “among the seven teams, only KB Insurance applied for a contract renewal with existing foreign player Andres Vijena (registered name Viyena).”
Villena will receive an annual salary of $550,000 for the new season and continue his career as a player at KB Insurance.
It’s an unexpected decision.
Leo was OK Financial Group’s ace last season, ranking second in scoring (955 points), second in attack success rate (54.54%), second in serve (0.489 per set), and first in open success rate (50.36%).
With Leo leading the way, OK Financial Group finished the regular league in 3rd place and advanced to the championship game for the first time in 8 years.
Leo was recognized for his performance and received the MVP trophy for the first time in 8 years since 2015.
However, OK Financial Group decided that it would be better to recruit new foreign players to improve the team’s constitution.
Yosvani Hernández (registered name Yosvani), who played for Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance last season, also failed to renew his contract.
Leo and Yosvani aim to be nominated for a new team through the draft starting at 8 PM (Korean time) on the 11th.
The order of nominations is determined through a lottery, and the lottery probability is determined based on the final score of the previous season.
The seven men’s teams are participating in the foreign player tryout (open selection) for the next season, which is being held in Dubai, United Arab Emirates (UAE) starting on the 9th to determine the best.
