UYBA Volley is an Italian professional women's volleyball club based in Busto Arsizio, in the province of Varese. The team currently plays in the Serie A1, Italy's highest professional league.

In 1996, Serie A1 club Unione Sportiva Cistellum Volley was playing at the Palazzetto dello Sport in Cislago, [1] a venue with small capacity, forcing the club to look for a new home venue. [2] In 1997, when the nearby city of Busto Arsizio inaugurated a 4,490 seat venue named PalaYamamay-Maria Piantanida, [3] Cistellum decided to relocate to Busto Arsizio where it remained for three seasons. [4] After relegation to Serie A2 at the end of the 1999–00 season, the club transferred all its sporting activities to Yamamay and Futura Volley Busto Arsizio is created. [2] [5]
The club's first season was at the Serie A2 in 2000–01, [6] promotion to the Serie A1 was achieved after seven seasons, in 2007. [7] The first title was the 2009–10 Women's CEV Cup and in 2012 the club won four titles (Serie A1, Italian Cup, CEV Cup and Italian Super Cup).
The team currently plays at the E-Work Arena, an indoor arena owned by the municipality of Busto Arsizio.
The main group of supporters of the Yamamay Busto Arsizio is called "Amici delle Farfalle" (AdF) (Friends of the butterflies).
