With schedules and results still to come, if we had to sum up the 2026/27 Credem Banca Serie A2 season, featuring the Yuasa Battery, in a single number, it would inevitably fall on 10,000. Because the next championship won’t just be a long succession of matches, sets, and standings: it will be a journey. Thousands of kilometers to travel, kilometers that traverse different regions, landscapes, traditions, and cities, each bringing with it something unique and unmistakable: the name of Grottazzolina.

A small town in the Fermo province that for years has learned to sit at the table of great Italian volleyball without any qualms, building step by step a story that continues to surprise. A story inevitably made up of setbacks, of course, but one that this year will also see it embark on a long, intense, and fascinating journey.

With the numbers in hand, considering the outward and return journeys for regular-season away matches alone, the Yuasa Battery is preparing to clock up over 10,000 kilometers in total. About a quarter of the Earth’s circumference, the equivalent of a trip from Grottazzolina to Tokyo (or Kyoto, the headquarters of the Grottazzolina title sponsor) and… kilometers to go. A huge distance, which immediately demonstrates the truly national scope of this championship.
