In court, Cimed Florianópolis (SC) and BMG / Montes Claros (MG), finalists in the latest edition of the competition.

Cimed played without using the middle blocker, Jardel, who meets suspension imposed by the Superior Tribunal of Sports Justice (STJD). In its place, Rogério played. The center was the highlight of the 11th victory of the champions and was named player of the match.
