The last second legs of the round of 16 of the 2025 CEV Cup, the second most important continental club competition, will be played between today and Thursday. On Thursday 19 December, Trentino Itas will host the Portuguese Sport Lisboa and Benfica in Italy (already defeated 3-0 in the first leg) exceptionally at the PalaPirastu in Cagliari instead of at the IlT Daily Arena; the choice to play the match at the Sardinian facility was made to promote high-level volleyball in a region like Sardinia that has a great passion for this sport. Kick-off scheduled for 7pm, with live streaming on www.videolina.it/live, EuroVolley and Radio Dolomiti.
HERE TRENTINO ITAS Having returned to Italy only on Tuesday morning and moved directly to Cagliari without returning to Trento, the European Champions will take to the field to get at least two sets against the Portuguese team, in order to access the next round.
“We are returning from a Club World Cup Final which we wanted to end differently and I believe diving back into an important match like this a few days later is the best way to turn the page and face the event well – declared the coach this morning Fabio Soli during the presentation – . The 3-0 victory in Lisbon in the first leg absolutely does not allow us to take this Benfica lightly, who have a strong club behind them and a very valid roster.T
