Seven days after their 3-0 home win against Emma Villas Codyeco Lupi Siena, ABBA Pineto is preparing for their season opener away from Pala Santa Maria. The white-and-blues are moving approximately 370 kilometers north, to Veneto, to play against Alva Inox 2 Emme Service Porto Viro for Sunday’s matchday two of Serie A2 Credem Banca (6:00 PM).

The team, under coach Simone Di Tommaso, resumed training this week, fueled by the positive energy of their excellent debut. The victory, which, despite the championship’s early stages, made ABBA the only team in the standings with a perfect score.

“It was crucial for us to start well, especially in front of a crowd like the one that welcomed us at Pala Santa Maria.” Mattia Catone spoke: “It was also a match in which we hadn’t yet expressed our full potential, and you could see that there was some tension at the start, probably due to it being the first match of the season. Being compact and always united, even when things weren’t going well, when something wasn’t working out, was certainly important, and it should be that way. Strong teams show themselves in these situations.
