Philippine National Volleyball Federation president Ramon "Tats" Suzara said that Souza de Brito will enter the bubble on August 1 after completing his quarantine on July 31.

It took some time for Souza de Brito to secure a Philippine visa amid Covid-19 protocol issues concerning the entry of foreigners to the country.         

Souza de Brito is looking forward to work hand-in-hand with national women’s team coach Odjie Mamon for two years upon his arrival.

He will help the Philippines' build-up for the eight-team continental championship which the country is hosting on August 29. The hosts were drawn in Pool A with Kazakhstan, Chinese Taipei and Uzbekistan.
