Italy - Serie A1 2025/26

Imoco heads talking about sustainability and future plans.

And from this point of view, the club today can boast a 35 percent international audience, especially after the arrival of Gabi and Zhu. TV rights could therefore be decisive. But even here there is skepticism “Today they amount to 2M € for 14 teams.”

The future hypothesized by Lega Volley Femminile is to focus on social instead of paid streaming: “I can't answer that but it puzzles me,” says Maschio. "Could this be the right way? I don't know, let's see."

Another topic related to revenues: in basketball they tried to move the focus of the competitions from national to international, while in football the European Super League failed. “We, too, are thinking about it. Right here in San Vendemiano we met with the most important clubs. The problem is bringing together many executives. You fill the arenas with the superstars of the sport but for a leap in quality it would take a tournament with all the best players"

What happened to their talks with Prada Group? in 2022

Interesting...

the issue of TV rights is quite clear: 2 million Euros to be divided among 14 teams... A ridiculous amount...

Just today the Italian League published an article with triumphal numbers...

The two things seem to absolutely clash with each other...

Denied. Prada has no interest in niche sports except for that stupid Luna Rossa Pirelli contract they have for rich non-athletic fishermen

A strong social media presence is what gave volleyball a huge exposure especially now that LVF has collaborated with the all female team of Brutti but I think they shouldn't focus on that area alone. Marketing is still massively lacking for a lot of teams both male and female except Imoco. Imoco has like 1000 sponsors already and they're the ones doing everything for Imoco.

Lega Volley Femminile's goal is to reach general sports fans (young gen z haikyu nerds, girlcrazy males included since you cannot avoid those creatures) that's why they upped their digital game. If they mostly rely on tv broadcasts there's no guarantee that it will attract local calcio fans which was their initial idea and it died faster than you can say pallavolo. I think most clubs are doing fine in terms of local marketing. Roots are extremely valuable to clubs and they should stick to that.

Scandicci confirmed Giulia Gennari for next season So they are going into the season with 3 setters.

Maybe Bechis will return to LOVB?

Maybe Bechis will return to LOVB?

It would make sense because Gennari had a shoulder surgery, so she might not yet be in full force for the first half of the season. Maybe fire_erik_sullivan knows more?

I hope so. She was injured and then really out of shape. I want to watch her best version in LOVB.

It could be possible, but probably unlikely since they've signed 3 setters to replace the ones leaving next season.

It makes sense considering starting setter is at pensioner age 😅

Mamma li turchi!

My team be doing anything but winning the champions league

Cuneo confirmed also Cecconello, they've announced 5 middles at this point? Like I'm sure they'll drop one of them but what's the point lol

Consolini or whatever you call that club released a statement via Instagram story that nothing is confirmed yet or at least that's what I'm getting through the translation. This is weird... Sportal also shut down rumors including their collaboration with Errea. But why that team? they seem financially stable and their base is so far not one of the main cities in Italy.

I don't get why Fenerbahçe would want to acquire a club in Italy instead of one in Turkish league

Because the medium-low level of the Italian A1 championship, also of the A2 cadet series, is much higher than the Turkish one and, therefore, much more useful for the growth and development of young players ...
