History

Wealth Planet was founded in 2005, but in its early days volleyball was not a part of the business. Instead Wealth Planet was focused on fitness, body building, healthy eating and well-being in general. However, in the late 2000s, Wealth Planet started supporting the local volleyball teams Colli del Tezio and Grifo Volley.[1] In 2010, the company decided to join Serie C with its own volleyball team, Wealth Planet Village.[2]

In August 2011, Wealth Planet Village was merged with the club Pallavolo Etruria Corciano to form Wealth Planet Etruria Village. After the merger, the club has one team in Serie B1, with the sponsored name Gecom Security Corciano, and one team in Serie C, with the sponsored name Multicopia Perugia.[3] In 2012, the club changed its name from Wealth Planet Etruria Village to Wealth Planet Perugia and the sponsored name of the Serie B1 team was changed to Gecom Security Perugia.[4]

In 2017, after playing in Serie B1 for seven years, Wealth Planet Perugia got the chance to play its first season in Serie A2 due to repechage.[5] In its second season (2018–2019) in Serie A2, Wealth Planet Perugia finished the regular season in pool B in first place.[6] The club also won the subsequent promotion pool and was promoted to Serie A1 for the 2019–2020 season.[7][8]

In the 2022–2023 season of Serie A1, Wealth Planet Perugia finished the regular season in 13th place and was relegated back to Serie A2.[9] The club was able to return to Serie A1 again by winning the promotion pool in Serie A2 the following season (2023–2024).[10][11]
