by Tiziana Di Giovannandrea 08 December 2019The national volleyball praises both Conegliano and Civitanova. All two teams, the first women's second men's, triumphed in the Club World Cup: the Venetian panthers dominated the tournament in China, while in Brazil the red and white 'cucinieri' have risen to the top of the podium in the men's one.

The Kitchens Lube Civitanova beat the Brazilians of Sada Cruzeiro (25-23, 19-25, 31-29, 25-21) with a 3-1 and closed a triumphal year in which they had already won the Scudetto Champions of Italy and Europe with the Champions League.

At the 'Ginasio Divino Braga' in Betin, Brazil, the Marche-based team of Fefè De Giorgi was dragged by Bruninho and the spikers Osmany Juantorena and Yoandy Leal, confirming Italian domination in a competition that last year saw ITAS triumph Trentino.

The Imoco Volley Conegliano ended the six days of competition in Shaoxin in the best way, imposing itself in the final with the Eczacibasi VitrA Istanbul: 3-1 the result, to reiterate a superiority already expressed in the opening race of the tournament. For Imoco this is the first triumph outside the Italian borders: after three championships, an Italian Cup and three Italian Super Cups.

The exceptional day of the blue volleyball was thus commented by the number one of Fipav , Pietro Bruno Cattaneo : "I am really proud, both have made a great feat, beating the strongest formations on the world scene. We have lived wonderful days following with great passion and support for the competitions of the two world tournaments, I would like to address to the whole Italian Volleyball Federation - he added - the most heartfelt congratulations to Conegliano and Civitanova, as well as to the Igor Gorgonzola Novara, for the extraordinary World Club competition. their successes have once again enabled Italian volleyball to establish itself as a protagonist on the international scene ".
