In the season 2007/2008 Roma have decided to gather “Crème de la crème” of volleyball in Italy. This team managed to win the first-ever European trophy – CEV Cup. In the domestic competitions, they reached semifinals of the Italian Serie A1 playoffs and reached finals of the national Cup and Super Cup.
In the starting line-up were these players: Paolo Tofoli (Setter, Italy) – Ivan Miljkovic (opposite, Serbia); Cristian Savani (outside hitter, Italy) – Leonel Marshal (outside hitter, Cuba), Luigi Mastrangelo (middle blocker, Italy) – Witze Kooistra (middle blocker, the Netherlands), libero – Hubert Henno (France). Substitutes: Manuelle Coscione (setter, Italy), Giacomo Giretto (middle blocker, Italy), Andrea Semenzato (middle blocker, Italy), Marco Molteni (outside hitter, Italy), Osvaldo Hernandez (opposite, Cuba), Yasser Romero (libero, Cuba).
Unfortunately, this team stayed together only for one season. However, this team will remain remembered as the squad that won the first ever European trophy for Roma. In the final of the CEV Cup, they defeated Belgian team Noliko Maaseik in straight sets.
