BERGAMO — Italy closed the last stage of its preparation before the opening week of the Volleyball Nations League with a 0-3 defeat against Turkey in the BPER Test Match. Volleyball.it’s latest coverage treated the result as the final competitive checkpoint before the Azzurri leave for the first VNL pool in Canada, keeping the national-team build-up at the center of the day’s news flow.
The national-team picture also widened on the women’s side. Volleyball.it reported that the women’s Nazionale B was scheduled to start work from the following day and that the group would include players such as Sarah Fahr, Alessia Orro and Miriam Sylla. Another federation update concerned the Italy Under 22 women’s team, with the players called by Marco Gagliardi for the training camp at the Centro Pavesi from June 1 to 5 ahead of the European Championship in the Netherlands.
Italian Transfer News
CONEGLIANO — The women’s market remained one of the strongest themes on Volleyball.it. Raphaela Folie returned to Conegliano, bringing an experienced middle blocker back to one of the leading clubs in Italian volleyball. In the same club orbit, Sarah Fahr was confirmed for a seventh consecutive season in yellow and blue, a sign of continuity for a roster that continues to combine international ambition with long-term planning.
Volleyball.it’s transfer coverage also followed the broader shape of the Italian market through its paywalled boards for the women’s A1 and A2 divisions, underlining how many of the current moves are part of a wider reorganization across the top domestic categories rather than isolated signings. Even without publishing full squad lists in the free articles, the site kept the emphasis on continuity at the top and on a market that remains active in several directions at once.
Youth
TRICASE / AGROPOLI — The youth finals produced the day’s clearest on-court verdicts. Volleyball.it reported that Vero Volley Monza captured the BigMat Under 15 Boys’ National Title, confirming the club’s depth in the development sector. The result closed the competition after Monza had already come through a difficult semifinal the previous day and then completed the final step in the title match.
The same happened in the girls’ bracket, where Vero Volley Numia won the BigMat Under 14 Girls’ National Title. The double success gave the Vero Volley system one of the most visible stories of the youth weekend and turned the final day of the national finals into a strong showcase for the club’s academy structure. In editorial terms, the youth section balanced the market and national-team headlines by delivering definitive results rather than preparation news.
