Cucine Lube Civitanova is in the midst of a reset after their Regular Season home debut, which ended with a valuable 3-1 derby win against Yuasa Battery Grottazzolina. It’s the start of the championship, and the team must immediately look ahead with full concentration. On Sunday, October 26th, at 8:30 pm, the red and whites will face another demanding test: an away match at the PalaBarton Energy against European champions Sir Susa Scai Perugia. Many Predators will be cheering on the Cucine Lube team.

Among the key players on the court in their debut, especially for his performance in the first two sets, setter Mattia Boninfante stands out. On the eve of the match, Boninfante received the Badiali Award from president Simona Sileoni as the best Under-23 player in the 2024/25 top-flight tournament.

Mattia Boninfante (setter, Cucine Lube Civitanova):
“Last year was crucial for me and the team, and we ended with so much enthusiasm. We carry the same enthusiasm with us now, individually. It was a thrill for me to receive the award, which I obviously share with everyone who worked with us.
