The 4th edition of the Stars Volleyball Challenge happened in Portobello Resort, in Angra dos Reis. The event, partnership between the hotel and the ex-volleyball player Tande, brings together artists, athletes, ex-athletes and celebrities forming mixed doubles. And Zico, playing with Sandra Pires, won the title of the tournament beating in the final Adriana Behar and the actor Anderson Muller. Zico also won the MVP title in the volley tournament.

- It was very funny and I ended being champion with the great player Sandra that was the first woman to win the Olympic gold medal with Jacqueline, exactly in beach volleyball. And I was elected the best player unanimously. I have good friends in volleyball. The ´pineapple´ hand was enough! - said Zico.

Zico and Sandra won four games to win the title, two on Saturday (Tande/Joanna Prado and Adriana Behar/Anderson Muller), the semifinal against Ana Paula and Luigi Barriceli and again Behar´s double in the final. A team had to score 18 points to win the match.
