Women's professional volleyball foreign giants Danchak Victoria (registered Victoria), Merelin Nicolova (registered Nicolova), and Taylor Preecano (registered Taylor) are also looking to participate in the V-League next season.
According to women's clubs on the 28th, Victoria, who played for IBK Industrial Bank of Korea this season, Nicolova, a former member of the Korea Expressway Corporation, and Taylor, who wore a Pepper Savings Bank uniform, applied for a foreign player tryout.
The three players who finished the regular league clearly expressed their intention to challenge the V-League in the 2025-2026 season.
Players who played in the V-League this season can apply for a tryout within seven days after the championship game ends.
The three completed the application process early even though the deadline is nearly 20 days away.
Ukrainian Apogit Spiker Victoria is second in scoring this season, scoring 910 points in all 36 games.
Victoria is considered a candidate for renewal along with GS Caltex's "Cuba Express" Giselle Silva (registered name Silva), who won the top scorer for two consecutive years.
Victoria was ranked sixth overall in attack (39.97%) and fourth in sub (0.311 per set).
The Industrial Bank of Korea is also positive about renewing its contract with Victoria.
Kim Ho-chul, manager of the Industrial Bank of Korea, said, "Nothing has been decided yet, and I think we need to see foreign players (who applied for a tryout)," but added, "We are thinking of going with them as much as possible."
Nikolova from Bulgaria, who was a wing striker for the Korea Expressway Corporation, also ranked 6th in scoring (637 points), 7th in attack overall (39.41 percent success rate), and 2nd in sub (0.434 per set).
Taylor, who joined Pepper Savings Bank as a substitute for Barbara Javic at the beginning of the season, hunted 562 points (average 18.1 points per game) in 31 games and ranked 10th in the overall offense (37.28% success rate).
The Korea Expressway Corporation and Pepper Savings Bank plan to comprehensively determine whether they will be selected after looking at the list of players applying for tryouts.
Silva, who surpassed 1,000 points for the second consecutive year for the first time in women's history, is likely to apply for a tryout amid a strong love call from GS Caltex.
Silva's husband Lewis, who visited Jangchung Gymnasium in Seoul with his daughter Siana during the final regular league match on the 20th, joked about whether Silva would renew his contract, saying, "That's confidential," and replied, "I personally want Silva to continue playing in Korea next season."
Heungkuk Life Insurance's Tutku Bourge (registered name Tutku), Hyundai Engineering & Construction's Letizia Moma Vasoko (registered name Moma), and Jeonggwanjang's Vanya Bukirich (registered name Bukirich) are expected to decide whether to apply for a tryout after the championship. 바카라
