Roma Volley Club Femminile is the professional women's section of the Italian volleyball club Roma Volley Club. The team is based in Rome and currently plays in the Serie A1, Italy's highest professional league.
Due to sponsorship, the club has competed under the following names:
Volley Group Roma was founded in 2013 as a joint collaboration between three clubs: G.S. Divino Amore, A.P.D. Palocco and A.P.D. San Paolo Ostiense. [1] Volley Group Roma played its first season (2013–2014) in Serie B2 where it finished the regular season in second place in pool G. [2] While the club failed to reach a promotion spot in the playoffs it was still promoted to Serie B1 due to repechage. [3] Volley Group Roma's first try in Serie B1 only lasted one season as the club finished the regular season (2014–2015) last in pool D. [4] The club once again managed to get promoted to Serie B1 in 2016.
In 2018 Volley Group Roma acquired the rights to play in Serie A2 from another club, San Lazzaro, which had financial problems. [5] After just one season in Serie A2 the club was relegated back to Serie B1. [6] However, Volley Group Roma got the chance to continue playing in Serie A2 when the club Zambelli Orvieto announced that it would abandon the league. [7]
In the summer of 2019 Volley Group Roma formed a joint partnership with the men's volleyball club A.P.D. Roma and the club changed its name to Roma Volley Club. [8] In the 2020–2021 season Roma Volley Club won the Serie A2 promotion pool and was for the first time promoted to Serie A1. [9] In 2022 the club was relegated back to Serie A2, but the following season it won the promotion pool once again and returned to Serie A1 for the 2023–2024 season. [10]
The following is the roster for the 2024–2025 season. [11]
