PNVF grants PVL authority to forge ‘strongest women’s national team yet’


The Philippine National Volleyball Federation (PNVF) has sealed a landmark decision, bestowing upon the Premiere Volleyball League (PVL) the responsibility to select, train, and manage the women’s national team for international competitions.

This starts with the Asian Volleyball Confederation (AVC) Challenge Cup for Women, which the country is hosting later this month.

The PNVF board agreed to entrust the task of the national women’s team to the PVL during the federation’s board meeting last April 12 at Seda Nuvali, held during the FIVB Beach Pro Tour in Santa Rosa City.

“This is a landmark decision by the PNVF board, and we are looking forward to the PVL forming the strongest women’s national team ever,” said PNVF president Ramon “Tats” Suzara.

Two members of the PNVF board – Vice President Ricky Palou and National Team Commission Head Tonyboy Liao – are the president and chairman, respectively, of Sports Vision, the organization that owns and manages the PVL.

Brazilian Jorge Edson de Brito, the FIVB-assigned coach for the Philippines, will handle the women’s national team.

The AVC Challenge Cup for Women will take place from May 22 to 29 at the Rizal Memorial Coliseum.

It will feature the Philippine national team competing against squads from Kazakhstan, Iran, Chinese Taipei, Vietnam, Australia, Hong Kong, Singapore, Indonesia, and India.

Additionally, the PNVF has forged an alliance with Cignal TV of the MVP Group as its official partner for the men’s national team.

They will compete in the 32-team FIVB Men’s World Championship 2025, which the country is hosting solo in September next year.
