Two scrimmages behind closed doors just to make the engines run, the first official game at the Cagliari Tournament, the first of the two that Olimpia will play during its pre-season. The second will be in Athens, at the Trophy named after Pavlos Giannakopoulos (which Olimpia won in 2019), and will represent the first real chance to see the full team on the courts, given that the preparation started without seven players involved with the respective national teams. In all, eight games will be played before taking the court in Brescia, on September 28, for the Supercup semifinal against Virtus Bologna. Here is the pre-season schedule of the defending Italian Champions.
