Analysts say the team’s success is a testament to the talent of its “golden generation” of players and the strategic guidance of head coach Julio Velasco.
This World Championship win is the fourth major international title for the Italian squad in just over a year.
Their recent dominance includes gold medals at the 2024 Paris Olympics and back-to-back victories in the Volleyball Nations League in 2024 and 2025.
This historic winning streak, now at 36 matches, has established them as the first women’s national team since Cuba in 2002 to simultaneously hold both the Olympic and World Championship titles.
