Julio Velascocoach of the Italian national women’s volleyball team, has the list of 25 players has been announced among which choose the 12 players called up (plus one reserve) for the Paris 2024 Olympics. The group includes all the athletes about to compete in the Final Eight of the Nations League: the opposing Paola Egonu and Ekaterina Antropova; the setters Alessia Orro and Carlotta Cambi; the spikers Caterina Bosetti, Alice Degradi, Gaia Giovannini and Myriam Sylla; the power plants Marina Lubian, Sara Bonifacio, Anna Danesi and Sarah Fahr; the free Ilaria Spirito and Monica De Gennaro.

Probably among the Italians next to face the USA in the quarter-finals are the volleyball players who will take part in the Games, but Velasco could also make some changes if necessary. The other options are the director Francesca Bosio, the striker Sylvia Nwakalor, the hammers Stella Nervini, Rebecca Piva, Loveth Omoruyi, Camilla Mingardi, the central defenders Linda Nwakalor, Yasmina Akrari and Benedetta Sartori, the libero Eleonora Fersino and Ilenia Moro.

We remind you that from this edition each national team will be made up of twelve athletes, but there will be a reserve ready to take over in the event of an injury to one of the “owners”. Italy has been included in group C together with Turkey, the Netherlands and the Dominican Republic: the minimum objective is to qualify for the quarter-finals, and then try to win that five-ring medal which has always faded in the history of the Bel Paese.
