Itavolley kicks down a hat trick in Nations League

Italy-Iran 3-0

A trio for men’s Italvolley defeated Iran 3-0 (25-19; 25-16; 26-24) to claim their third consecutive victory in the 2023 Nations League.

De Giorgi’s boys, fresh off their successes against Cuba and Argentina in Ottawa, dominated the first two sets, only to find themselves trailing in the third set.

At 20-24 when it seemed all set for them to go on for another set Giannelli and his teammates signed a 6-0 break that allowed them to close the score.

Paola Egonu was born in Cittadella, in the province of Padua, in 1998. Her parents are of Nigerian origin, it is said that her dad, when the future volleyball champion was very young, was seriously thinking of changing her sport, diverting her to basketball. We will never know if Paola would have become a great basketball player, but for sure, as far as volleyball is concerned, she is at the top at the planetary level. In 2022 she left Italy to move to Turkey and defend the colors of VakıfBank Istanbul.
