Megavolley, also known as Megabox Volley Vallefoglia, is an Italian professional women's volleyball club based in Vallefoglia. The team currently plays in the Serie A1, Italy's highest professional league.
Due to sponsorship, the club has competed under the following names:
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 COVID-19. 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]
