EA7 Olimpia Milano closed the 2025‑26 season with its first ever triple crown, celebrating the 32nd Italian title at Arco della Pace on June 20 2026. Over a thousand fans, despite temperatures above 30 °C, cheered the squad that captured the Supercup, Italian Cup and LBA championship in the same year.
What happened at Arco della Pace?
The gathering turned into a full‑blown parade of red‑black flags. Coach Peppe Poeta, visibly moved, thanked the crowd saying “you were special, you gave me the strength to bring the boat to port”. After his speech, Poeta led the fans in singing “Maledetta Primavera”, the anthem that follows every Forum victory.
Why does the triple crown matter for EA7 Olimpia Milano?
Becoming the fourth Italian club to win Supercup, Italian Cup and LBA title in one season marks a turning point. The record of 32 national titles solidifies, and the roster shows depth capable of handling a heavy workload: Diego Flaccadori directed the chants, while Luca Bolmaro, a possible new captain, rallied the crowd in Italian. GM Christos Stavropoulos urged fans to stop “striking” on away games.
How did the key figures react?
Pippo Ricci, awaiting his first child, said: “We are proud to have written a piece of Olimpia history”. Flaccadori, with his playmaker energy, orchestrated the Forum‑style chants, shaking the arena. Bolmaro, with his guard versatility, pushed the team to keep defensive intensity, posting over 2 steals per game in the Italian Cup final.
What lies ahead after the triple crown?
The schedule includes the first EuroLeague games in October, where the squad will face high‑level opponents. Poeta hinted at a possible big‑man addition, but stressed the core remains unchanged: a blend of experience and young talent like Flaccadori and Bolmaro. Fans now appear ready to travel with the team, breaking the tradition of the “strike” on away fixtures.
The atmosphere stays electric, with Milan celebrating a rare feat in Italian basketball. The triple crown is more than a trophy; it confirms EA7 Olimpia Milano is poised to compete at the European level with the same grit shown in LBA.
