Stefano Diaw will have the number 5 on his back and the privilege, at hardly 18 years of age, to spike for Vibo Valentia in the elite of Italian volleyball. Last year, he had played in the B2 division team of the club.

“I am thrilled to have this opportunity to play alongside top players like Cisolla Forni, Farina and Gavotto – said Thiaw – This gives me great motivation to do well and keep improving. For now, volley remains a hobby for me, but I love it and who knows, maybe one day it will become my job”.
