The key figure on the night was Micah Christenson, named MVP of the Final Four. Nearly a decade after his first Coppa Italia triumph, the American setter delivered another masterclass, guiding Verona’s offense with calm authority and sharp decision-making.

Trento fought hard, especially in the second set, but Verona always seemed to have an extra gear. Keita’s power, solid blocking, and disciplined defense made the difference, while captain Rok Mozic sealed the win and sparked jubilant celebrations.

With 9,130 fans in attendance and nearly 1,000 supporters travelling from Verona, the final whistle marked a milestone moment. For Rana Verona, this Coppa Italia title is more than a trophy, it’s a statement of arrival on Italian volleyball’s biggest stage.
