THE REGIONS TROPHY
The rich and historic event has represented one of the most important events in Italian youth volleyball since 1982, an event, among other things, the culmination of sporting activity carried out at a territorial and regional level, once again providing a great spectacle for all those present who had the opportunity to watch the matches in Calabria and those who followed the event on the YouTube channel of the Italian Volleyball Federation.
The Palazzetto Dello Sport “Brillia” of Corigliano-Rossano has therefore decreed the two winning teams: the Lazio triumphed in the women’s tournament, while the Lombardy has established itself in the men’s competition. The two regional representatives effectively confirmed the successes obtained in the previous edition of the TDR held in Campobasso.
