Pallavolo Reggio Emilia was an Italian women's volleyball club based in Reggio Emilia, in the province of the same name. The team used to play in the Serie A1, Italy's highest professional league. With four championship wins in the Italian first league and four Italian Cups, it is one of the most successful Italian clubs in history. It is also the club with most CEV Cups, with three.
History[edit]
It was one of the two Reggio Emilia teams, together with the Arbor, to dominate the women's volleyball scene in the seventies and eighties. The club, founded in 1952, joined the women's volleyball section of the La Torre sports club (founded in 1948) in 1964 and won four consecutive league titles between 1965 and 1968. It left it definitively in 1974 and linked his name to the Nelsen Chemical Industries for thirteen seasons. It was able to reach the top of Italian volleyball, but without being able to win any more championships; it collected six second places in seven years. Reggio Emilia won the Italian Cup in 1982, 1983, 1986 and 1989. The first international victory in the CEV Cup also dates back to 1986. In 1983 it lost in the playoffs against Teodora Ravenna. Since 1987 it experienced a slow period of decline, which was quite overcome by 1889, when the club won its second CEV Cup. That season the team also won first place at the end of the 1988-89 season, being later eliminated by Bari in the playoffs. The following year it lost the final to Ravenna. It reached the finals again in 1997-98, with the sponsorship of Ceramica Magica; in the same year they won their third CEV Cup.[1][2]
From the club's finals in the 1997/1998 season (in which they also won the championship) they played in Seria A for seven seasons in a row, although they were relegated on three occasions but then rescued due to failures or resignations of other clubs. In the 2002/2003 and 2003/2004 seasons, the club finished 10th, reaching the Italian Cup quarterfinals in the 2002/2003 season, where they lost to Sirio Perugia, which would go on to win the competition.
In 2004-05, they were relegated and excluded from the A2 championship, getting registered in B1 with the name of Volley Reggio 1952.
In the 2007/2008 season the club won the Serie B Italian Cup in Benevento. In the 2010/2011 season they played in group A of Serie B1, relegating to Serie B2. At the end of the following season, which ended with another relegation, the club announced that it will not register for the next Serie C championship.[3]
