BUSTO ARSIZIO – A huge crowd; sorry, a beer bath. Success beyond expectations for the “1st Uyba Beer Fest“, organized by the red and white club to inaugurate the two new beach volleyball courts outside the e-work Arena. Party had to be and party was, with the players of the red and white first team (from captain Lualdi to the new entries Scola, Obossa, Pelloni and Morandi, passing through the reconfirmed Sartori, Boldini, Piva and Frosini) special guests of an event strongly supported by the marketing & events red and whiteready to churn out other initiatives shortly.
From indoor to outdoor, the Uyba brand, revisited with a specific rebranding, continues to make more and more inroads, increasingly exciting the CEO of Brera Holdings Gianluigi Viganòsatisfied by first concrete responses provided by a territory (soon news on the shirt – ed.) which, after an initial distrust of change, is now understanding the scope of a project that is as futuristic as it is sustainablemade of steps.
But without getting ahead of ourselves, talking about the ambitious objectives in the pipeline (from one new gym next to the Arena, ai hospitality parterrefrom non-volleyball events to the different levels of partnership at youth level), it is better to keep our feet firmly on the ground, starting from new but solid foundations.
Councilor Artusa: the beaches of Busto
Between players, managers (the latest addition to the Uyba home was presented, Matteo Balzarini), fans (AdF), sponsors and authorities (the Sports Councilor Maurizio Artusa was the glue of the presentation with sympathy and practicality), the Uyba – well represented also by the athletes of the cantera – he therefore gave the symbolic la to thesummer of the Arenawith the two beach volleyball courts – freshly inaugurated – already besieged by many enthusiasts (reservations via the playtomic app) as well as the small but welcoming and well-stocked chiringuito.
Blue ribbon in the Uyba house: welcome to Umberto
But what made the presentation gala even more unique was the very fresh paternity of Uyba’s third coach Filippo Lualdi (as well as brother of Captain Giuditta, now aunt), celebrated by all those present for the birth of his firstborn Umberto. To Mom Margherita pizza and dad Filippo, whom we thank for overcoming the embarrassment and allowing himself to be present at our microphones, best wishes from the entire M24 editorial team.
