V-League heads to Visayas, showcasing Cebu’s top varsity teams


The country’s first-ever amateur volleyball league, formed in 2004, is making its way to the Visayas.

The V-League is expanding its reach with the introduction of V-League Visayas.

With this expansion, volleyball fans in the Visayas region will witness high-level competition featuring some of the best collegiate teams.

Leading the charge are the reigning CESAFI champions University of San Carlos (USC) Lady Warriors and University of Southern Philippines Foundation Inc. (USPF) Lady Panthers, who finished as runners-up in last year’s CESAFI tournament.

Joining them in this inaugural tournament are University of Cebu (UC), University of San Jose-Recoletos (USJ-R), University of the Philippines-Cebu (UP-Cebu), and Cebu Institute of Technology-University (CIT-U).

For Sports Vision Management Group Inc. president Richard Palou, the expansion was a long-overdue move to bolster the sport in the region.

“Many of the country’s top volleyball stars have come from Cebu, and it’s about time we help grow the game even further in the Visayas. With V-League Visayas, we are providing another platform to support the CESAFI tournaments and give players more opportunities to shine,” said Palou.

The V-League’s expansion into Visayas is more than just an additional tournament—it’s a testament to the region’s role in shaping national volleyball talent.

“The Visayas has been a powerhouse in the volleyball national program. The dedication and hard work of our coaches and players in this region have been our foundation. It’s about time that we give them the platform to showcase the best talents,” said V-League Visayas commissioner Ken Ucang.

“We are one V-League.”

More details, including schedules and official matchups, will be announced in the coming weeks.
