The arena of Sir Safety Conad Perugia is indeed going to host the Final Four of the 2018 Del Monte® Supercoppa, on Saturday 6th and on Sunday 7th of October. The Company from Umbria, champion of the last trophy and newly winner both of the championship and of the Del Monte® Italian Cup is going to welcome the first event of the season, which is the long-awaited official debut of the 74th championship.

The Final for the third place will be live streaming on Lega Volley Channel. The Supercoppa formula includes the match between the winners and the losers of the championship and the Italian Cup, namely four potential places which have been tender of Perugia and Civitanova during the last season. But also the great Modena (third place in the ranking of the regular season 2017/18) and Trento (fourth ranked) are going to play.
