The full story
On November 1, 2026, the organized fan group 'Onda Gialloblù' held a protest during a home volleyball match between Modena and Verona at the PalaPanini arena in Modena, Italy. The supporters staged a silent strike, refraining from singing, using drums, or waving flags to express their opposition to the high volume of music and speaker announcements played during matches. The group displayed a banner reading 'Your music... our silence.' Supporters argued that the loud environment makes traditional cheering feel superfluous and transforms sports venues into 'tourist villages.' They expressed that the excessive noise detracts from the sport itself. The protest gained significant attention on social media, with many fans supporting the group's stance. According to reports, the club's management has signaled an intention to consider the feedback provided by the fans.
