History

The club was founded in 2008 by the acquisition of a Serie B2 licence from Pallavolo Zevio. The club was named VBC Pallavolo Rosa, VBC is the acronym for Volley Ball Casalmaggiore. As the club progressed through the national leagues, the home venue was changed to comply with league regulations and accommodate a larger number of supporters. From the Palazzetto dello Sport Baslenga in Casalmaggiore, the club first moved to PalaFarina in Viadana and then to PalaRadi in Cremona. The first promotion happened in 2010 to Serie B1, one season later promotion to Serie A2 was achieved and in 2013 it reached the Serie A1. [1]

Already in its second season playing in Serie A1 (2014–15), Volleyball Casalmaggiore won the league title by defeating AGIL Volley in the play-off finals. [2] The success continued the following season when the club won both the 2015 Italian Super Cup and the 2015–16 CEV Champions League. [3]

In 2024, Volleyball Casalmaggiore lost its main sponsor and for financial reasons the club decided to sell the rights to play in Serie A1 to Cuneo Granda Volley. [4] [5] For the 2024–25 season, Volleyball Casalmaggiore instead acquired the rights to play in Serie A2 from G.S. Fo.Co.L. Volley Legnano. [6] [7]
