Savino Del Bene Scandicci made history by winning their first-ever FIVB Volleyball Women’s Club World Championship, defeating defending champions Prosecco Doc Imoco Conegliano 3–1 (30–28, 25–19, 21–25, 25–23) in the 2025 final held in São Paulo. The Italian club, founded in 2012, completed a near-flawless campaign, dropping only one set throughout the tournament while overcoming three continental champions.
This victory marks the biggest achievement in Scandicci’s history, following past European triumphs in the Challenge Cup (2022) and CEV Cup (2023). Star opposite Ekaterina Antropova led the effort with 25 points in the final, earning both the tournament MVP and Best Opposite honors. Teammates Avery Skinner and Maja Ognjenović were also named to the Dream Team.
For Conegliano, the loss halted their bid for a record-tying fourth world title. Isabelle Haak and Gabriela “Gabi” Guimarães led the runners-up with 20 and 19 points respectively. Brazil’s Osasco and Dentil Praia Clube finished third and fourth, with Camila Brait and Adenízia Ferreira also earning Dream Team selections.
