The Philippines will host the second of two legs of the inaugural Southeast Asian Men’s Volleyball League (SEA V. League) from July 28 to 30 at the City of Santa Rosa Multi-Purpose Complex in Laguna.
The SEA V. League is a series for men and women indoor volleyball among the Philippines, Thailand, Indonesia and Vietnam and is affiliated with the Southeast Asia Volleyball Association.
“The League aims to further strengthen and develop men’s volleyball in the region,” said Ramon “Tats” Suzara, president of the organizing Philippine National Volleyball Federation, which is coming off a successful hosting of the Men’s Week 3 of the Volleyball Nations League in Pasay City early this month.
The four countries are almost in equal footing in terms of rankings in the International Volleyball Federation or FIVB. Vietnam is the best-ranked men’s team at No. 56, Thailand at No. 58 followed closely by the Philippines at No. 59 and Indonesia at No. 68.
The SEA V. League opened its first leg in Jakarta on Thursday, July 20
The City of Santa Rosa leg, presented by PLDT and primarily supported by the City of Santa Rosa, Philippine Olympic Committee, Philippine Sports Commission, One Sports and Cignal, wraps up the single-round elimination competition.
