Clubs in Italy want to maintain the quality they’ve reached in the past years, but they need to be balanced with the national and international schedules. I also stressed the importance of youth leagues; all clubs should be helped with investments by their National Federations, since they are building the future of the national teams.”

“Having been President of the Brazilian Volleyball League for 17 years, I truly understand the issues the clubs face and I am committed to continue working closely with the Italian Volleyball Federation and the professional leagues to ensure the best conditions for the athletes. I also used the opportunity to congratulate Mr Mosna and the clubs of the Italian league on the consistently great performances over the last 75 years.”
