“It will be great to be on DAZN. Yes, it will be great, and it will also be great for DAZN to have Reggio Calabria broadcast live.” With these words, full of enthusiasm and pride, Marco Tullio Martino, General Manager of Domotek Volley, describes the Amaranto team’s arrival in the second most prestigious Italian league, Serie A2, with the resulting national spotlight guaranteed by the platform’s cameras. This milestone represents not only a sporting success, but also an unprecedented opportunity for visibility for the entire city.
The General Manager’s words come at a time of great excitement, but also intense work. After the historic treble that gave Reggio Calabria promotion to Serie A2, the Coppa Italia, and the Supercoppa Italiana, the enthusiasm is mixed with an awareness of the challenges that await the team. “It’s all wonderful, it’s truly fulfilling and gratifying to work under these conditions,” said Martino, who, however, doesn’t hide the effort he’s put in during this period: “You know very well that we’re in a period of intense stress, of enormous stress, which will lead us to register for the championship and then turn the page and face new challenges.” It’s a painstaking work behind the scenes, made up of “scaffolding” and planning, as the general manager himself emphasized, which often escapes the fans’ attention.
When asked what his dream is for the new season, Martino’s answer is clear and pragmatic. The director’s goal perfectly aligns with that of the club: “It’s clear that we all want to always be higher, always at our best, but we’re aware and keep our feet firmly on the ground, because we know the difficulties of this A2 season.” His thoughts immediately turn to the fans, the true driving force behind this extraordinary adventure. “The dream is to give many more exciting Sundays to our fans, to ourselves, but above all to our audience, our sponsors, our companies,” Martino explained. A dream that goes beyond the match result, embracing the entire spectacle surrounding the sporting event: “The match is the event, but all around it revolves an organization that wants to fill spaces, fill them, and inspire excitement.”
