Imoco Volley is an Italian professional women's volleyball club based in Conegliano and currently playing in the Serie A1.
The club was founded on 15 March 2012, two months after the bankruptcy of Spes Volley the other volleyball team in Conegliano. [1] In April 2012, it acquired a Serie A1 licence from Parma Volley Girls, that meant the club started playing directly at the highest Italian league. [2] It has been playing under the name Imoco Volley Conegliano since its foundation in 2012.
The club won the Serie A1 for the first time in 2015–16, winning the Italian Super Cup a few months later on 8 December 2016. [3]
On 5 March 2017, the club won the Coppa Italia for the first time after beating Liu Jo Nordmeccanica Modena 3–0 in the final. [4]
In December 2019 the club won the Women's Club World Championship. [5]
In 2020, the Imoco Volley won its second Coppa Italia. Due to the coronavirus pandemic, both the Serie A1 and the CEV Champions League were untimely cancelled. The Imoco Volley, with its new name A. Carraro Imoco Conegliano, reached, along with the VakıfBank, the semi-finals of the CEV Champions League after winning all its matches, but it could not play them; [6] it was declared winner of the regular season of the Serie A1, but no team was declared winner of the 2019-20 Italian championship. [7] [8] It ended the 2019–20 season by winning three of its five goals: the Italian Supercup, the Women's Club World Championship in Shaoxing and the Coppa Italia.
All the starting seven of the club decided to renew their contracts for the 2020–21 season, after their wins in the previous season and the cancellation of the finals of the Serie A1 and the CEV Champions League (the only major title never won by the club). More than half of the current players of the Imoco Volley are part of the starting seven of the Italian national team, runner-up at the 2018 World Championship. The others are champions such as the Dutch Robin de Kruijf, the Polish setter Joanna Wołosz and the American Kimberly Hill. The club renewed all the other players excepting Giulia Gennari, according to its policy to have many young new talents along with top players of the volleyball. The new team has three players who are under the age of 20 years, one has less than 18 years, the Italian Loveth Omoruyi. Sarah Fahr, who is not part of the starting roster, has already won a silver medal at the 2018 World Championship and a bronze medal at the 2019 European Championship with the Italian national team.
