GS Caltex continues its partnership with Giselle Silva (35), who led the team to a "miracle championship."

On the 24th, GS Caltex announced, "We have confirmed a re-signing with Silva, and she will continue to play with us in the upcoming 2026-27 season." With this, Silva, who debuted on the V-League stage in the 2023-24 season, will wear the GS Caltex uniform for four consecutive seasons.

Silva expressed her thoughts on the re-signing, saying, "I am honored to continue working with great teammates at the excellent team GS Caltex. I want to trust each other, unite, and carry forward the positive momentum from last season. I sincerely thank the fans for their unwavering support, and I will do my utmost to win the championship next season as well."

Silva, who was selected as the sixth overall pick in the 2023 foreign player tryout, immediately established herself as one of the V-League's top scorers upon joining the team. From her debut season through the previous 2025-26 season, she never missed out on the women's scoring champion title even once.

In particular, during the 2025-26 season, she played 36 matches and 139 sets, posting overwhelming statistics: 1,083 points (1st), an overall attack efficiency of 47.33% (1st), and 0.309 service aces per set (2nd). Silva is the only player in V-League history to reach the 1,000-point milestone in three consecutive seasons.

Silva's dazzling performance directly translated into the team's success. After not participating in the spring volleyball tournament for the previous two seasons, GS Caltex finished the regular season in third place and then embarked on an unstoppable run. Starting with a victory over Heungkung Life Insurance in the semi-playoffs, followed by defeating Hyundai E&C in the playoffs, and finally overcoming Korea Expressway Corporation in the championship finals, the team secured the championship. Silva, who led the team to the title, was honored with a sweep of the Most Valuable Player (MVP) awards for both the regular season and the championship finals.
