The Serie A3 2024-25 calendars are out. Negrini CTE has been included in the white group, this year made up of ten teams with eighteen regular championship days, unlike the blue group which has eleven and will therefore have to play four more rounds.
On 20 October we will start with the home derby against Savigliano, then followed by Brugherio and Sarroch away, on 10 November there will be the big match with Belluno at home, the following Sunday away to Mantua, then again within friendly walls against San Donà. Double away match on the first two Sundays of December in Cagliari and San Giustino, before finishing on Sunday 15th against Ancona. The return round will begin on Sunday 22nd December and will continue on 12th January after the Christmas break.
The last day of the regular season will be March 9th.
The top eight in each group will then compete in the play-offs with the round of 16, quarter-finals and semi-finals to determine the two promoted to A2.
While the last three of the blue group and the last two of the white group will compete in an Italian group to decide the three relegated.
“The calendar immediately puts us to the test in the derby against a solid team that never gives up anything. We’ll immediately understand what we’re made of – comments sporting director Stefano Negrini – Then a double away match, first against a young team but which always poses difficulties at home and then in Sardinia against a team that has strengthened a lot in the signing campaign. So Belluno, a team built to improve, this year every match will be decisive, mistakes will be paid and it will be difficult to recover given the short calendar I think that this year I hope it will be the others who worry when they meet us. We will play the important cards we have every time to see what our objective will be at the end of the first round. We are certainly one of the best teams have done on the market, but this year in A3 many teams have strengthened themselves to aim for important objectives. Let’s say we start more structured thanks to the year of experience gained.”
