Alexandra Sobo

Alexandra Sobo (born April 25, 1987) is a Romanian female volleyball player, playing the middle blocker position. She is part of the Romania women's national volleyball team. Throughout the last 14 years her stature combined with her long arms (2 metres wingspan) and elevation has made Sobo one of the most powerful middle blockers in Europe, with top blocking abilities and precise one-foot attacks. Stats from the 2015 Women's European Volleyball Championship rank her among the top centers of the game.

Sobo first played in the Romanian national league at the age of 15, while her first international appearance was in the 2003/2004 Women's CEV Cup.
