Matey Kaziyski ranks 150th among Volleyball athletes on GOAT Rank and 3085th of 4013 across every sport in the index.

Immediately ahead sits Brankica Mihajlović on 82.7, a gap of 0.1 points. Directly behind is Nelli Abramova on 82.6. The position moves whenever the verified record moves: new titles, new seasons or a corrected source all feed straight back into the same formula, and every change is dated on this profile.
