Civitanova Closes 2024 with Historic Final Four Qualification in Del Monte® Coppa Italia SuperLega
Cucine Lube Civitanova, currently tied for third place with Verona in the Regular Season with 27 points and a challenging match against Padova still ahead, concludes 2024 on a high note by securing a spot in the Del Monte® Coppa Italia SuperLega Final Four. The team led by coach Giampaolo Medei booked their place in the semi-finals with a thrilling tie-break victory against Milano at the Eurosuole Forum, marking their tenth consecutive home win this season.
The year began with a disappointing exit in the Coppa Italia quarts-finals but blossomed with a hard-fought qualification for the CEV Champions League semi-finals, a subsequent World Club Championship berth, and a surprising Play Off Challenge victory under interim coach Romano Giannini after head coach Chicco Blengini’s sudden departure.
The summer’s overhaul, which welcomed back coach Giampaolo Medei and infused the team with young, promising talent balanced with veteran expertise, reignited enthusiasts’ hopes and strengthened the bond between the team and their fan-base, the Predators. Throughout 2024, Civitanova maintained their invincibility at home, dominated the Volleyball Challenge Cup en route to the quarter-finals, narrowly missed a podium finish at the World Championships, and occupied a strong third position in the Regular Season. Wrapping up the year with a fierce comeback victory, the Rossoblu demonstrated resilience and a united spirit, crucial elements of their journey postering a bright 2025.
As the team prepares to face Verona in the fourth game of the Regular Season on Sunday, the schedule for the transitional period between the old and new year includes a combination of rest, strength training, and technical sessions to ensure top form and continued growth.
