Conegliano back on top: The Italian Cup is in the hands of the "Panthers"

Prosecco Doc A. Carraro Imoco Conegliano won the Frecciarossa Italian Cup, after defeating Savino Del Bene Scandicci 3:0 (31:29, 26:24, 27:25) in the final in Turin in front of 12,853 spectators at the Inalpi Arena. This is the eighth cup in the club's history and the first trophy for the 2025/2026 season.

The score looks decisive, but all three sets ended after extended play. Conegliano showed greater resilience in key moments and won the battle in blocking and counter-attack. Gabi Guimaraes was the leading figure for the "Panthers" with 22 points and logically won the MVP award for the final, while Isabelle Haak added 20.

For Scandicci, this was their first Italian Cup final. Avery Skinner finished with 17 points, Ekaterina Antropova with 16, but in the decisive rallies, the Tuscans failed to impose an attack against Conegliano's stable defense and block.

With this success, Imoco Conegliano returned to the top and once again asserted its place among the major favorites in Italian and European volleyball.
