Annie Cesar bolsters volleyball | OneFootball

After a short spell in the United States of America, Annie Cesar returns to Europe to join FC Porto’s volleyball team, recent winners of the domestic Double. The German international now becomes another option for Miguel Coelho in the libero position, joining Beatriz Basto in that area.

Born in Germany, the 29-year-old libero began her professional career in 2017/18 and, in her debut season, helped MTV Stuttgart win the bronze medal in the CEV Cup. The following year, the results were even better, with the Bundesliga title, and after being crowned German national champion, she renewed for another season, which was interrupted by the pandemic.

With the return of competition, she went on to represent Ladies in Black Aachen, a German club she played for between 2020 and 2024, before crossing the Atlantic to wear the LOVB Nebraska jersey. In her last season on American soil, Annie Cesar stood out defensively, posting an efficiency rate of 83.6%.

Over the course of her career, she has also earned caps for Germany, the national team with which she took part in the 2023 European Championship, is in contention for the 2026 Nations League, and will compete in the European Championship between 21 August and 6 September.

At 29, Annie Cesar returns to the Old Continent to represent the holders of the Portuguese title and joins Milana Božić, Saška Đurović, Natalia Murek, Kelsey Veltman and Beatriz Basto in the group of players chasing back-to-back championships.
