The 2021 Fiba Women's Club World Cup opened in Turkey, and on the first day of the match, the Asian Club Cup champion Altai Club from Kazakhstan used all its strength, the new foreign assistant De la Cruz scored a game-high 15 points, and the deputy attack Uffim Seva also had a 4-block surprise, still losing 0-3 (20-25/22-25/18-25) to the Brazilian Super League champion Minas FC. Another game between Conegliano and Fenerbahce, which was originally predicted as a strong dialogue before the game, showed a one-sided situation, Fenerbahce's two main attacks took turns, but Mérija and Cristina scored a total of 4 points, unable to match Federovt Caiva, and the same 0-3 (12-25/23-25/23-25) was swept by Koone.
The number of teams participating in the Club World Cup is slightly reduced compared to the previous ones, from the original 8 teams to 6 teams, Conegliano, Fenerbahce and Uberlandia Beach are in the same group, which can be described as a group of uncompromising deaths, and the other group has Wakif Bank, Altai and Minas, the qualifying situation of this group is relatively clear, Altai despite the despite the de la Cruz pressure, is still unable to compete with the champions of the Turkish Super League and the Brazilian Super League in overall strength.
Minas was challenged by Altai in the opener, and Dominican veteran De La Cruz, who had just joined Altai for the Club World Cup, became the team's scoring core, with 15 of 37 deductions in the whole game, almost a little attack. Secondary attack Uffim Seva also played a highlight, scoring 9 points in 4 of 8 dunks and 2 shots, scoring in all three links of the dunk, becoming the two key figures of Altai who were always close to Minas in the three sets. Minas Club's Turkey receiver Ozsoy scored the second highest score of 14 points (1 of 27 deductions, 12 blocks and 1 shot) Ozsoy has played in the Turkish Super League, The Pakistan Super League and the Japanese League, and has also represented the Turkish women's volleyball team in many international competitions during the London Olympic cycle. Secondary defender Taiza and main attacker Daroit scored 13 and 10 points respectively.
In the match between Conegliano and Fenerbahce, Fenerbahce has been stubbornly chasing the score in the last two sets, both ended in defeat, the main attack FederovT Caiva 27 dunks 17 of 1 block to score 18 points, receiving Lazareva also has 12 points (2 of 25 points 10 blocks) The only deficiency is Federovt Caiva's diagonal, the starting merrillha 9 3 points, substitute Christina 5 points 1 point, the two main attacks a total of only 4 points into the account, becoming the main factor in Fenerbahce's loss.
Conegliano played more smoothly in three side attacks, with Egnu still the top scorer, scoring 22 points on 34-of-19 shots, two main attackers, Plummer scored 13 points on 17-of-11, and Courtney scored 7 points on 15-of-4 shots.

The unfortunate defeat of Altai will challenge the Turkish Super League champion Vakif Bank in the second round, this game is too fierce, and Altai is very likely to be out of the group with two consecutive defeats. Fenerbahce will compete with The Bar super powerhouse Uberlandia Beach to decide another qualifying spot for this group.
