Club career

Haak started playing volleyball at the youth teams of her hometown club Engelholms VS and at the age of 14 made her debut for the first team in the Elitserien. [2] She became part of the starting line-up of the team in the 2014/15 season and helped Engelholms VS win the Swedish Championship for two consecutive seasons. [3] [4] She was elected Player of the Year by the Swedish Volleyball Federation in both 2014/15 and 2015/16 seasons. [2] In the early years of her career, Haak participated in beach volleyball as well as indoor volleyball. Together with her partner Fanny Åhman, she was fourth in the 2015 U18 European Championships in Riga. [5]

After two successful seasons in Engelholm, Haak signed a contract with the French club Béziers VB for the 2016/17 season. [6] With her new team, Haak reached the final at the French Cup where Béziers lost to Venelles 2–3 in a very closely contested match. [7] She was the top scorer of the French League in the regular season, [8] and voted the MVP and the best opposite spiker of the season. [9] Despite finishing third in the regular season, Béziers were defeated by the defending champions sixth-seeded Saint-Raphaël at the first round of the playoffs. [10] At the end of the season, Haak joined the Italian side Savino Del Bene Scandicci. [11]

In her first season in Italy, Haak became the scoring champion of the league with 491 points, averaging the season's highest 6.14 points per set, [12] and was selected for the All Star game [13] while her team Scandicci finished the regular season in second place, just one point behind Igor Gorgonzola Novara. [14] In the playoffs, Scandicci eliminated Volley Pesaro in the first round but lost to Imoco Volley Conegliano in the semifinals. [15] [16]

After two seasons in Italy, Haak joined VakıfBank S.K. in 2019. [17] With the Turkish club she won both the Turkish Cup and the Turkish League in the 2020/21 season. Isabelle Haak was also selected as the MVP in the Turkish League this season. [18] In Haak's third season playing for VakifBank S.K. (the 2021/22 season) she won 5 out of 5 titles with her club: The Turkish Super Cup, the FIVB Club World Championship, the Turkish Cup, the Turkish League and the CEV Champions League. Haak received the MVP awards in both the Club World Championship [19] and the Turkish Cup. [20]

In 2022 Isabelle Haak left Turkey and went back to play in the Italian LVF Serie A1 league but this time for Imoco Conegliano. [21] With her new club she won 4 out of 5 titles in her first season: The Italian Super Cup, [22] the FIVB Club World Championship, the Italian Cup and the Italian League. Haak once again received the MVP award in the Club World Championship [23] and she also received the MVP award in the Italian Cup. [24]

International career

Haak made her international debut with the Swedish national volleyball team against Latvia on 10 May 2014 at the age of fourteen, [25] and became the youngest ever volleyball player to represent Sweden at senior level. [26] She was the member of the Swedish U19 teams that won the U19 NEVZA (North European Volleyball Zonal Association) Championships in 2014 and 2015. [27]

Personal life

Haak was born in Perstorp but she later moved to Ängelholm shortly after her father had died of stomach cancer when she was 9 years old. [28] Her older sister Anna is also a national volleyball player and was her teammate during her time in Engelholms VS. [2]
