Of course, you can't actually go there yet. Even though the number of new COVID-19 infections has decreased and the state of emergency has been lifted, it is still not a situation where you can easily travel abroad. It seems that you are exempt from quarantine measures in Italy if you have the necessary documents, such as proof of vaccination, but there is still a quarantine period after returning to Japan, so it is still difficult for people who work full-time to go to watch the games in person.

So, this time I'm going to use information from the internet to simulate how to get to Pala Maita, the home of Vibo Valentia, which I haven't been to yet and would have liked to take paid leave to go to if it weren't for COVID!!
By the way, this is what the Para Maita looks like.
It looks a little worrying (laughs).
In order to make the discussion more concrete, we will use the game scheduled to start at 8:30 p.m. local time on Wednesday, November 3, 2021.Vibo Valentia vs MilanI would like to proceed under the assumption that I am going to see the match. It is a historic match as the first Japanese match in Serie A. If it weren't for COVID, I'm sure there would have been many people who took time off work to go and watch it from Japan. Ugh, I hate COVID.
Now let's get to the main topic.

0. Buy tickets for the game
Even if you go to the venue, you cannot enter the venue without a ticket. You can buy tickets on the day, but it is possible that they will sell out for matches against popular teams, so it is better to win in advance if possible. Tickets for Vibo Valentia can be purchased at the following site.
https://www.liveticket.it/tonnocallipovolley
General tickets are 11.0 euros, and 5.5 euros for those under 18 and over 66. Tickets for the so-called "Big 4" matches of Civitanova, Modena, Perugia, and Trento are 16.5 euros for general tickets and 11.0 euros for those under 18 and over 66.
As expected from Southern Italy prices. Cheap.
① Head to Lamezia Terme Airport
First, confirm the location of Vibo Valentia. Vibo Valentia isCalabria, southern ItalyIt's located at the toe of the boots.

The match kicks off at 8:30pm on the 3rd, so I wanted to arrive at Lamezia Terme Airport around noon on the day, so I worked my way back. After taking into account factors such as a short layover time, keeping the cost reasonable while avoiding low-cost carriers (LCCs), and being able to board after work, I chose the following route.
I departed from Haneda and had a transfer in Istanbul, Turkey and Rome. Both transfer times were about 3.5 hours, which was a little long, but I think it was enough time to transfer comfortably even for a first-time user at an overseas airport and still have time to enjoy shopping and dining.
