SuperLega Credem Banca will have a dress rehearsal this weekend at the 3rd Jesi Volley Cup. Tomorrow, Saturday 11 October, at 8:30 pm, Giampaolo Medei’s Cucine Lube Civitanova will challenge Roberto Piazza’s Allianz Milano in the semifinal of the four-team tournament organised by Jesi Volley & Sport at the PalaTriccoli. Just like last season, the first obstacle will be the Milanese team. After winning the first edition and then coming close to a repeat in the tie break of the 2024 Final, the Cucine Lube team wants to end its preseason on a high note. In the other semifinal, tomorrow at 5:30 pm, Massimiliano Ortenzi’s Yuasa Battery Grottazzolina will face Dante Boninfante’s Gas Sales Bluenergy Piacenza. The Finals are scheduled for Sunday, October 12th: the two teams that fail to advance from the Semifinals will play for third place at 3:00 PM, while the trophy will be awarded at 6:00 PM.

Giampaolo Medei (Coach Cucine Lube Civitanova):

“First and foremost, we hope to finally have a full squad. Between illnesses, the official commitments of the world champions, and Eric’s fatherhood, to whom the entire team extends its congratulations, we’ve had to deal with several absences and must take advantage of the Jesi Volley Cup to have a full weekend.
