History
[edit]Megavolley was founded in 2019 and for its debut season (2019–2020) the club acquired the rights to play in Serie B1 from Volley Ospitaletto.[1] Megavolley was in second place in the standings, just three points from the leading team, when the season was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. After missing the chance to play for a promotion to Serie A2 the club decided to acquire the rights to play in Serie A2 from P2P Baronissi.[2]
In its first season (2020–2021) in Serie A2, Megavolley finished the regular season in Pool East in first place.[3] In the subsequent promotion pool play the club finished in third place and was qualified for the playoffs.[4] In the final, Megavolley defeated Union Volley Pinerolo and was promoted to Serie A1 for the 2021–2022 season.[5]
In the 2023–2024 season of Serie A1, Megavolley finished the regular season in seventh place and was for the first time qualified for the championship playoffs.[6]
