The Volley Market at the Zanhotel & Meeting Centergross in Bentivoglio (BO) closed on Thursday, with the presentation of the Serie A3, A2 and SuperLega championships. The novelty for Volleyball Macerata is that this year it will participate in the Blue Group, challenging its opponents from the South in a highly competitive and spectacular tournament that will open on October 15th and will end, as regards the Regular Season, on March 24th.
The debut will see Volleyball Macerata host Just British Bari at the Banca Macerata Forum. Red and white fans will therefore have the opportunity to discover the new team in their own arena and support it closely from the first match of the season. There are thirteen teams in the Blue Group, so every day there will be a team at rest. For Volleyball Macerata the stop round is set for the 13th and last day of the first leg, December 26th, and for March 24th in the second round.
The other team from the Marches, Virtus Fano, will also be present in the Blue Group, against which last year Volleyball Macerata gave life to some spectacular matches as well as being very popular with the public as always. The derby between the two Marches is set for 7 December at the Banca Macerata Forum, on the 10th day of the outward journey, while in the return the appointment is on 28 February in Fano.
The dates of the Serie A3 Italian Cup were also revealed yesterday: the Quarter Finals will be held on 10 January, while the next phase could resume the Final Four formula, hosted last year by Pallavolo Macerata, to be played on the weekend of 3 and 4 March, or propose Semifinals and Finals on the dates of 7 February and 3 March.
