Roma Volley, relegated from the elite, triumphed with the Challenge Cup

Rome triumphs with the Challenge Cup! 🏆🔥

Roma Volley made history! Already relegated to Serie A2, the team won the Challenge Cup, defeating Chieri in the final return match as well. A European success – paradoxical, yet magnificent!
The same team that faced Bulgarian Levski in the 1/8 finals of the tournament!

🏟️ PalaSport was shaken by yellow and red passion! Fans witnessed an incredible journey: 11 wins out of 12 matches, with only two sets lost until the quarterfinals.

The decisive moment: Chieri had set point at 23-24 in the fourth set, but Roma didn't flinch! A video check delayed celebrations at 25-24 (due to a net touch), but then Mirkovic and Chiarrocci sealed it with an attack and a magical block!

📊 Final result:

🏐 Roma Volley – Chieri 3-1(25-19, 22-25, 25-18, 27-25)
🔹 First final match: Chieri – Roma 2-3

🔝 Heroes of the night:

⭐ Adelusi – 26 points!
⭐ Salas Rosell – 17 points
⭐ Meli – 17 points

🏆 26th trophy for Italian women's volleyball in the Challenge Cup! History was written in Rome.
