The world championship recently won in the Philippines with a 3-1 victory over Bulgaria is the latest evidence of Italy’s volleyball dominance in recent years.
The year 2025 represents a historic landmark for Italian volleyball, as the country confirms its absolute supremacy on the international stage by capturing titles in all three major categories: men’s, women’s, and U21 women’s teams at the World Championship.
This achievement is not only a continuation of prior successes but also a testament to the comprehensive strength of Italian volleyball. Just one year earlier, at the 2024 Paris Olympics, the Italian women’s team brilliantly secured the gold medal by defeating the reigning champions USA in the final, marking the beginning of a new era of dominance. These accomplishments bring pride to fans and raise questions about the factors behind Italy’s superiority compared to the rest of the world.
