PH to host world volley for women

WORLD-CLASS volleyball action rolls to Manila late this year after the International Volleyball Federation formally sanctioned the Philippines’ hosting of the FIVB World Women’s Club Championship.

FIVB executive committee member Stav Jacobi on Sunday signed a memorandum of agreement with Philippine Superliga president Ramon Suzara to formalize the country’s hosting of the prestigious meet set on Oct. 18 to 23 at the Mall of Asia Arena.

It will be the first time for the Philippines to host a world volleyball meet after opening its doors to the FIVB World Grand Prix in 2000 when Cuba won the crown and Brazilian star Leila Barros swept Filipino fans off their feet.

Philippine Superliga president Ramon ‘Tats’ Suzara and International Volleyball Federation Executive Board Member Dr. Steve Jacobi seal their agreement with a handshake for the hosting of the 2016 FIVB Women’s Club World Championship. The tournament, through the PSL and sanctioned by the FIVB and the Larong Volleyball ng Pilipinas, will be held Oct. 18 to 23 at the Mall of Asia Arena. ROMAN PROPERO

This will also the the first time the Philippines is hosting a world championship of an Olympic event in decades.

“This is the biggest club competition in the world, and we’re bringing in the best club teams to compete with each other,” said Jacobi. 

Jacobi said the best club leagues from South America, Europe and Asia will be competing. 

The host country represented by the PSL, Jacobi said, will also be competing for the very first time.

This will also be the first time that eight teams will be fielded from six the previous editions. The other four slots will be for wild cards, which will be assessed by the organizing committee.

Suzara said the hosting comes at a perfect time since volleyball in the country is experiencing a rebirth with the massive success of the PSL and the recent University Athletic Association of the Philippines and the National Collegiate Athletic Association.

Also present during the signing of the MOA were top Larong Volleyball sa Pilipinas, Inc. officials headed led by vice-president Peter Cayco as well as Peter Bratschi of Eventcourt, which will serve as co-organizer of the tournament. 

Bratschi was a former volleyball player, himself.

“Philippine volleyball is experiencing a renaissance,” said Suzara, who is also chairman of the  marketing and development committee of the Asian Volleyball Confederation and a member of the FIVB.

“But our athletes are experiencing international level competitions only lately. The 2016 FIVB World Women’s Club Championship will be one, if not the biggest, of the major international tournaments we will be hosting.”

Set to compete are South American champion Rexona Ades Rio de Janeiro of Brazil, Asian heavyweight Bangkok Glass of Thailand, Pomi Casalmaggiore of Italy, the Philippines and two wildcard entries.

The Philippines will be represented by six PSL stars and six foreign players reportedly from volleyball powerhouse countries like Russia, United States and Brazil and Turkey.

Suzara said FIVB president Dr. Ary Graca is looking forward to a very successful event following the success of Zurich in hosting last year’s event.  

“The FIVB has been very supportive of our endeavors to make the Philippines a strong sporting country once again. With Eventcourt as our partner, we will be assured of a well-managed event,” Suzara said.
