The Universities of Texas, Minnesota and Tennessee all headed to Italy in May to play one of the top clubs in the world – UYBA Busto Arsizio, a majority-owned subsidiary of Nasdaq-listed Brera Holdings PLC (“Brera”).”
UYBA Volley, an Italian women’s professional volleyball team that is a member of the Serie A1, one of the world’s top professional leagues, was honored to host these teams for some very exciting volleyball friendlies (exhibition matches).
Dicey Perrine, Head of Brera’s US Operations and former UCLA Volleyball MVP, commented, “Serie A1 is considered by many to be the top women’s professional volleyball league in the world and NCAA volleyball is clearly the top developmental league, so we’re excited to host these three prestigious Universities’ volleyball teams.”
UYBA played its first friendly competitive matches against Minnesota, on May 23, where Arsizio won 4-0. On May 28, two-time defending NCAA champions, University of Texas, beat UYBA Volley 3-1. And finally UYBA Volley played the University of Tennessee on May 31, where UYBA won 4-0. Following every match the teams enjoyed an authentic Italian meal together, exchanged autographed jerseys, and took lots of photos to commemorate the event.
“Like UYBA Volley, these three US universities have top teams comprised of elite athletes and this is an opportunity for the Lombardy region and our squad to scout and host some potential future team members,” said Brera Holdings CEO, Pierre Galoppi.
UYBA Volley is looking forward to hosting more US-friendly matches in the coming years! In the meantime, follow UYBA Volley on Instagram, their team website, and VBTV.
