Just a few days after the confirmation of Francesca Zara on the bench, Velcofin Interlocks Vicenza is pleased to announce the first player to wear the red and white jersey for the 2024-25 season. It’s about Caterina Mattera, center born in 2001, last season wearing the Roseto Sharks shirt, right in the Vicenza group. Mattera is the first player on the roster for the new season, but soon the squad available to Zara will begin to take even more shape.
Caterina Mattera
Centro, originally from Ischia, raised in the Battipaglia nursery, the class of 2001 is establishing itself in the category after excellent years in Nico Basket, Broni and, indeed, Roseto. She is fresh from a rally with the experimental national under 23 team, she is also a reserve in the category team for the Italian national 3vs3 team.
In Abruzzo, with Roseto’s shirt, last season, he closed the year with around 5 points and 5 rebounds per match with 55% of shots inside the arc in 18 minutes of average usage, with a season high of 17 points. She is a player who is growing rapidly, with excellent potential and who arrives in Vicenza to continue on this path, in a context in which she can have important playing time to grow further and establish herself as one of the most interesting forwards in the category.
The first statements
“I am very happy to be in Vicenza. In recent summers I had already been contacted by Lidia Gorlin, but for one reason or another it had never materialized. This year, when the call came, I heard beautiful words from a club that wants to work on me and enhance me.
I also spoke to Zara, immediately after the end of the championship, and she also explained to me how she wants to set up the new season. I can’t wait to start this adventure!”
While waiting to know the other confirmations and news of the Velcofin Interlocks Vicenza 2024-25 (some could arrive in the next few days), we are happy to say: “Welcome Caterina!”.
