In the royal city of Lucknow, where heritage and culture echo through every archway, an electrifying new chapter is unfolding on the volleyball court. Enter the Lucknow Shahi Warriors, a founding franchise in the inaugural Women's Pro Volleyball League (WPVL), built on heritage, ambition, and fierce court tenacity.
Under the leadership of franchise owner Anjali Mishra, the Lucknow Shahi Warriors were formed with a mission: to create a powerhouse platform for women athletes in India. Channeling the city's celebrated culture of tehzeeb with an intense competitive fire, the team is set to light up Ekana Indoor Stadium.
The Shahi Warriors made waves at the player auction by securing iconic marquee attacker Roli Pathak alongside standout national talents. With a blend of seasoned international performers and hungry young prospects, the squad brings tactical depth in setting, blocking, and lethal wing spikes.
