Derthona embraces "its" Liguria: tomorrow's friendly in Alassio against the Sharks Antibes
A trip to the Ligurian coast for Bertram Derthona Tortona's fourth preseason game. At 19:30 PM on Saturday, September 5th, at the PalaRavizza in Alassio, in the province of Savona, the black and white team will face the Sharks Antibes, a team from the French second division.
For the Bianconeri, coached by Mario Fioretti, this test comes at a physically challenging time in the preseason, given the unavailability of Gorham, Eboua, Durham, Di Meo, and Vene. It will also be an opportunity to see center Dominik Olejniczak in the Lions jersey again, having returned this week from his commitments with the Polish national team to begin his second season in Tortona. A new face also returns to the bench, assistant coach Iacopo Squarcina, fresh from his European qualifiers for the 2027 World Cup with Italy.
Declarations
General Manager Gianmaria Vacirca : "The Alassio match against Antibes is much more than a summer test: it confirms a special and growing bond between Derthona Basket and Liguria, which now represents the third largest audience at the Nova Arena. This relationship is fueled by dozens of clubs affiliated with our Open project, spread across both the west and east, and by the growing interest in Derthona throughout the region. This match is therefore the perfect opportunity to publicly say goodbye and thank a region that is supporting us with such attention and affection, and to relaunch a journey we intend to continue building together."
