March 30, 2025, will be remembered as the night Giuditta Lualdi, the heart and soul of Eurotek UYBA Volley Busto Arsizio, played her final match. At the E-Work Arena, in front of the fans who have cheered her on for years, she bid farewell to the sport she loved and the team she always called her family.
From the first serve to the last point, Lualdi embodied passion, dedication, and an unbreakable bond with UYBA. Her leadership went beyond tactics and statistics—it was about spirit, resilience, and the love for the red and white colors. As the final whistle blew, the arena erupted in a standing ovation, a heartfelt tribute to a captain who gave everything for her team.
Surrounded by teammates, coaches, and fans, Lualdi was celebrated for her invaluable contribution to UYBA. The emotion in her eyes said it all—volleyball wasn’t just a sport for her, it was home. In her farewell speech, she once again called UYBA her family, a word she never used lightly.
This article is a tribute to her incredible journey, accompanied by a gallery of my best images capturing her spirit, determination, and love for the game.
Thank you, Giuditta, for everything.
