Yellow-blue 2024/25 season presented, President Da Re: "Still at the top"

The large central atrium of ‘La Cittadella’ in Via del Brennero in Trento, where the new yellow-blue headquarters have also been located since last July, hosted the official ribbon-cutting ceremony of the 2024/25 Trentino Volley season.
The large spaces inaugurated just twelve months earlier by the historic Gialloblù sponsor were the best possible background for presenting to fans, sponsors, authorities, and media the club's two top teams, soon to start respectively in the men's SuperLega and women's Serie A2 championships. The event allowed the more than four hundred people present to get to know one by one all the members of the new rosters and celebrate the long partnership with the Poli Group, which on this occasion celebrated ten years of ‘ownership’ of the libero's jersey.
Also present were the main local authorities, who did not fail to express their praise and appreciation for the activities that Trentino Volley has been carrying out for the past 24 years. “The last time I had the opportunity to talk about Trentino Volley was during the celebrations for the Champions League victory in Turkey, an experience I had together with the team and which allowed me to get to know some wonderful people, not just great players – revealed Trento’s Mayor Franco Ianeselli - . As Municipal Administration, we did our part during the summer, renovating the sports hall, which again this year will be hosting the best volleyball in the world”.
“I want to thank President Da Re and the Club because they have been able to work fruitfully, giving the whole of Trentino great emotions - said Vice President and Sports Councillor of the Autonomous Province of Trento Francesca Gerosa - . We always follow with passion the matches of both the boys and the girls, teams on which we bet a lot and that I am sure will give great joy. By now Trentino Volley has accustomed us well, so we look to the upcoming season with renewed optimism”.
President Bruno Da Re clarified: “We are happy to be able to present our two first teams in a slightly different, more informal manner. Doing it in the Poli family's house is a source of further pride, because for some months now La Cittadella has also become our home, an important part of Trentino Volley. We start again after a season that gave us the Champions League victory, a success that reaffirmed Trentino Volley's ability to remain at the highest level. We have learnt from the mistakes made on the women's court, now we start again with renewed enthusiasm and with a new ambitious project that can lead us to do well in the A2 Series”.
“The sensations on the eve are very good - Fabio Soli, coach of Itas Trentino men's team, did not hide - ; during the market phase we tried to identify players who had the same values as this group, which has shown great ability to react in times of difficulty and which led us to win the Champions League”.
During the evening, the new captain of the Itas Trentino men's team, Riccardo Sbertoli, was made official. “I am very happy and proud that the Club has seen in me the right person to play this role - explained the Italian setter - . It is a responsibility that I gladly take on, convinced that all my teammates will help me a lot in carrying it out. From a personal point of view, being the captain of Trentino Volley represents a very important goal for me: it is an attestation of esteem from people of whom I have great consideration”.
Now the ball is on court: this weekend it is already time for the Supercoppa Final Four in Florence.
