Challenger Cup good dry run for FIVB Men’s World Championship 2025

MANILA, Philippines — The FIVB Volleyball Challenger Cup (VCC) for Women will not only provide Alas Pilipinas the opportunity to toughen up further in a “one miss and you’re out” tournament but also ice the series of dry run competitions ahead of the country’s first-time and solo hosting of the FIVB Volleyball Men’s World Championship 2025.

“We’re down to 14 months to go and at the rate we’re going, we look forward to aiming for a well-hosted world championship in 2025,” said Philippine National Volleyball Federation (PNVF) president Ramon “Tats” Suzara as he thanked the FIVB for acknowledging the federation’s successful hosting of the Volleyball Nations League (VNL) Men’s Week 3 two weeks ago at the SM Mall of Asia Arena.

“The Philippine’s love for volleyball was clear, setting the stage for the FIVB Volleyball Men’s World Championship 2025,” the FIVB said in its official website. “The Volleyball Nations League (VNL) Men’s pool in Manila … attracted a massive turnout of 45,886 fans eager to witness world-class volleyball, an exciting sign of what is to come for the upcoming FIVB Volleyball Men’s World Championship 2025 in the country.”
