FIPAV Cup Men Elite volleyball tournament

Overview

The FIPAV Cup Men Elite volleyball tournament, featuring Italy, Cuba, Brazil, and Germany, serves as a final test cycle for the Italian men’s national team ahead of the 2026 European Championships.

In a historic match at the PalaCalafiore in Reggio Calabria, Italy defeated Germany 3-2 to win the FIPAV Cup Men Elite. The contest was defined by an unprecedented first set that lasted one hour and 29 minutes, ending with a score of 64-66 in favor of Germany. This set featured a total of 130 points, a feat described as a potential world record for the highest score in a single set of high-level volleyball. Despite losing the record-breaking opening set, the Italian team, coached by Ferdinando De Giorgi, recovered to win the match with a final scoreline of 64-66, 25-22, 23-25, 25-22, 15-12.

Following the victory over Germany, the tournament moved to Messina. Playing before a sold-out crowd of 4,100 at the PalaRescifina, Italy concluded the tournament with a 3-1 victory over Brazil. After losing the first set 21-25, Italy rallied to win the subsequent three sets with scores of 25-20, 25-18, and 25-20. Italian captain Simone Giannelli noted that the team demonstrated “strong cohesion and technical progress” during the intense competition period.

For Brazil, coached by Bernardinho, the defeat follows a victory against Germany. The Brazilian squad will now focus on upcoming challenges, including the South American Championship and the Olympic qualifying tournament in Rio de Janeiro.
