A1 F – New reinforcement for SIS Roma: Brazilian Izabella Chiappini returns

Capanna: “She is a flexible and high-quality player. She is a striker, but she can also play in other sectors, she has a great desire for revenge, she wanted to return to play in Italy and wants to demonstrate that she is a top-tier player."

New reinforcement arriving for SIS Roma: the Brazilian Izabella Chiappini, former athlete of the green and gold national team and the pink seven, will return to play in Italy and has chosen SIS for her welcome return to the top Italian women's water polo championship.

Izabella is very close to SIS, with which she won an Italian Cup in 2019 (the Roman club's first).

The heart of Izabella, in France for a year in the ranks of Mulhouse, however remained in Rome and when the owner Flavio Giustolisi called her she immediately said yes.

For Marco Capanna, the return of the attacker is an important purchase that will strengthen the squad.

Izabella Chiappini is 29 years old and has a lot of experience gained in swimming pools all over the world, which is what is needed to square the circle and give confidence to the young people.

“With us she won the first SIS Roma Italian Cup – recalls Marco Capanna, fully satisfied with the Italian-Brazilian player's return to the squad – we know her well and she remained very close to our environment. She is a flexible and high-quality player: officially she is a striker but she can also play in other sectors. Izabella has a great desire for revenge, she wanted to return to play in Italy and prove that she is a first-class player. In a difficult market like the current one, his is a return of prestige. We are confident and expect a great Championship from her."

The arrival of Chiappini does not change the project announced by the company to focus on young people one iota. “ The first team squad remains very young – explains Capanna – with an average age of 23 years, we continue on our path and above all we need athletes who choose to play with SIS because they believe in our programs."
