Rowers, only two “formats” but promotions are increasing

Bortolini will be able to have two out of three foreigners on the list, chosen from among Storti, Gheno and Robinho. The restructuring of the leagues increases the chances of moving up to the A2 division

BELLUNO

No increase in the “formats” to be deployed in the list in official matches. This is why Canottieri Belluno – like all the other Serie B realities – will be able to bring only two of the three Brazilian players currently present in their roster.

This was confirmed by the 5-a-side football division, which is preparing other news. In particular, the return of the Division Cup is official, while the reform of the championships should be announced shortly.

NASCE L’A2 ELITE

At the moment it does not directly concern the Canottieri, or maybe it does. In any case, a new category will be introduced from the 2023/2024 season, namely the A2 Elite, halfway between Serie A and Serie A2.

In fact, therefore, the national championships will be divided as follows: Serie A, Serie A2 Elite, Serie A2, Serie B, then gradually the regional series.

This means that promotions will increase in B starting in October: out of a total of eight groups consisting of 12 or 14 teams, there should be no less than 31. This is why, even in the case of Canottieri Belluno, it seems the right year in which try the category jump.

The team seems to have all the potential of the case, looking at a market that until now has brought the arrivals of Storti and Contin as a dowry, as well as confirmations of a certain importance.

SIZES AND DIVISION CUP

Compared to other teams, the team coached by coach Bortolini perhaps starts with a slight advantage regarding the “formats” rule, ie the number of Italian-trained players that can be deployed from match to match.

The non-trained will have to be only two, compared to the four of last season. For those who built rosters full or almost full of foreigners, a big problem.

For some time now, the Canottieri has been carrying out a school that is undoubtedly more Italian, even if at the moment it has three non-trained in the squad. There are no membership limits, but in turn one of Storti, Gheno and Robinho will have to sit in the stands on Saturday. Other news is the return of the Division Cup, that is that tournament based on the style of the English FA Cup in which all the teams of A, A2 and B meet in a single tennis scoreboard on the field of the category formation (or ranking of the season previous) lower. The debut of the Belluno players in the tournament will take place on Saturday 17 September with the first round.

CHAMPIONSHIP GROUP

But returning to the championship, who could be the opponents in the rowing group? It will start from the confirmations of the last group, namely the Venetian Cornedo, Isola, Gifema Luparense, Padua, Grangiorgione and Miti Vicinalis and the Friulian Maccan Prata and Palmanova. We do not insert the Order, as several voices strongly doubt the inscription. Nine teams then, to which the Trento Rovereto and the newly promoted Atesina (Trentino) and Bissuola (Veneto) almost certainly add. Lignano, winner of the C friulana, is given on par with the Order in strong doubt. There is the possibility of a repechage of Giorgione and at this point the presence of some Emilian team should not be excluded if it really reaches 14.
