Banca Valsabbina Millenium Brescia officially presented its team for the new season, in which the young Bulgarian national player Kalina Veneva will be among the "lionesses".
The presentation took place in the "San Giorgio" church in the heart of Brescia, where the entire club structure stood before the public - from the women's team in Serie A1 to the academy teams. Representatives of the local government and volleyball institutions attended the event, and club president Roberto Catania and head coach Matteo Solforati addressed those present.

Brescia is set to return to the Italian elite, and the very first round offers a curious rematch from last season. On October 4, the "lionesses" will host CDA Volley Talmassons - the other newcomer in Serie A1 and precisely the team that edged them out by just one point last season in the battle for direct promotion.
Thus, Brescia had to seek its place in the elite through the playoffs. In the promotion final, Solforati's team faced Nuvoli Altafratte Padova. After exchanging one victory each in the first two matches, everything was decided in the third match in Montichiari.
Before 3600 spectators, Brescia won the decisive match 3:0 (25:18, 25:22, 25:11) and closed the final series with 2:1 victories, thus securing its return to Serie A1.
Now the new season begins precisely against Talmassons - the team that had left Brescia one step away from direct promotion. The match will also be Kalina Veneva's first opportunity to make her official debut in the Italian elite.
