Livorno, 12 June 2024 – A historic achievement and the fans went crazy with joy. Libertas Livorno crowns a dream long years and returns to Serie A2. President Consigli’s team is promoted to the second national series of Italian basketball after the victory in game 5 of the grueling match against Roseto. This last game ends 74-81.
Right in Roseto the team coached by Andreazza achieves the historic milestone. A heart-pounding away match at PalaMaggetti in which the only thing that mattered was winning. And so it was. From the ashes of what was the glorious Libertas in the 1980s, a very solid technical project was reborn which led to the achievement of a prestigious goal for the Livorno basketball movement.
After an even first half, in the second twenty minutes Rose garden he gave in and Libertas took off. The libertarian Livorno therefore goes to Heaven.
The remote challenge with the Livorno basketball, a city rival who had to give up in the semi-final against Avellino, will now be on two separate levels. In A2 Libertas next year, in B Pielle, who will try to make the leap in category.
A healthy rivalry that has a common denominator: the total return of the passion for segmented ball in the city, after a sensational year in terms of public response, with eight thousand fans in the two derbies between the city teams.
For the Libertas promotion is a technical sporting masterpiece. A joy that also passes through many pains, many difficult moments during the regular season but also in these playoffs. But on the other hand, the climb to A2, in a difficult championship like that of Serie B, cannot fail to go through many difficult moments.
In this final there were continuous reversals of fortunes, with the series then gone at 2-2. At that point the Roseto match became the decisive one. And Libertas made no mistake, deploying all possible psychophysical energies. An impressive show of strength in the midst of so much suffering.
That suffering then exploded into joy on the part of the 400 people from Livorno in Roseto and the thousands of people in front of the screen at Livorno. Many also met at the Cinema Quattro Mori, which had organized a collective viewing.
The Libertassi support has demonstrated this year how much it can push the team towards feats that they seemed impossible. The victory also belongs to the supporters. Now the big party can start, which will last a long time. A super summer for Libertas, ready to appear on the A2 starting from September.
