Display MoreTenorio earlier this year was included on the FIPAV's (Italian federation) list of youth local players that Serie A1-A3 teams are getting paid for if they use them regularly in official matches - so there were strong rumors that he'll be naturalized by Italy (I guess he has Italian roots considering his 2nd last name is Capelocci, maybe he even has citizenship or short path to receive one, idk). And I guess that's the case, why would they include him in the program if he was about to play for any other NT?

His sports federation is Spanish, so I don't think that he'll play for Brazil, because legally he would have to be naturalized (naturalized = change his sports federation in FIVB system) as well by Brazilian federation. It's a pity for Spain though if my (and not only mine) interpretation is correct and he'll choose Italy, they have so interesting group of players in 2008-10 generation and Tenorio had crazy promising games in the Spanish league in 2024, he can be a reaaaaally good middle blocker one day (213 cm tall, offensive service, very gifted athletically). Cesar Irache (2008) was the best scorer at the U17 and U18 WCHs (Spain won bronze there), Roger Monzo (2010) was the best scorer at the U16 ECH where Spain won silver - and Tenorio was playing as a 19yo in the Spanish league finals, that's why he went to Civitanova.
Also: Civitanova already facilitated 'naturalization' of Podrascanin in FIVB a year ago in order for him to play as a local in the league, so I guess their legal department is pretty great in these combinations, lol. The more I read this FIPAV's communication, the more sure I get that he'll play for Italy considering that the program is designed for players with 'importance to Italian National Team'.
There were information that he may be out for even two months after the WCH, so him actually being used already as a serve sub was great to watch. Bergmann is so overrated as a player that Piacenza needs Efe ASAP to play alongside Gutierrez.
he has no Italian roots. He has Andorran blood from his father's side.
I wonder why Arthur didn't play this game against Milano.
Excited to watch the debut matches of Darlan, Arthur and Lukas Bergmann later.
Isnt he Spanish?
he is Brazilian-Spanish and has Brazilian citizenship. He wants to play for Brazil NT.

His father (Daniel Mininel Pequeno) is Brazilian-Andorran who played in Brazilian League from 1996-2005.
Davi Tenorio...maybe Brazil NT staff can have a good look on him and include him in the lineup because the kid wanted to be in the squad.
October 20 - Piacenza (Bergmann) vs Verona (Darlan)
FIVB is extremely biased towards the Philippines since all of their charity projects are in that country
any source for this one????
Serbia deserves to host the WCH.
I bet you all didn't even see the amount of complaints of the DJ they had in the philpines and their facilities are even worse than Thailand
girl, Manila isnt the only city in PH that has facilities. Cebu City is currently building its arena SM Seaside Cebu. It will be one of the legs for Women's VNL in 2026 and 2027.
Makes sense. Women’s volleyball is the fastest growing sport in Southeast Asia. I just hope that thailand will co-host the event.
girl, impossible because of Thailand and Philippines rivalry in everything. lmao. we hate each other lol
Domestic teams yes. Our own female players have the biggest fanbases but internationally men's volleyball is more popular in the Philippines.
Pinoy fans make up 80% of the most annoying haikyu tiktokers who only care about team Japan and now the Nikolov brothers
I disagree, women's volleyball internationally is more popular here in the Philippines. And please do not generalize us.
Which country are you from??
Edit: Filipinos are huge Brazil women's team fans. Also Italian women's team.
wasn’t this the announcement that Philippines are going to host Women’s WCh in 2029?
girl, I will be watching this in 2029. gotta save money because I know the organizers will triple the ticket prices because women's volleyball is more popular in the Philippines.
Now waiting for that special announcement from the FIVB President.
Congrats Italy! Well deserved
Loved the Coldplay song.
Italy on top of the world both Men's and Women's World Champions
Bottolo for MVP
