A semi-final match of the 2012 CEV Volleyball Champions League – Women took place on March 24 in the Azerbaijan city of Baku.
The two teams that were competing each other for a spot in the finals were the Turkish team of Fenerbahce Universal ISTANBUL as well as the Russian squad of Dinamo KAZAN. The venue of the competition was the “Heydar Aliyev” Sports and Concert Complex.

The coach of the winning team, Ze Roberto, expressed himself in the following manner at the press conference that was conducted after the match reached its close, “The final match with RC CANNES will be a great fight. They have a couple of outstanding middle
