Alas Pilipinas to debut in FIVB Volleyball Men's World Championship

Alas Pilipinas is set to make its historic debut in the FIVB Volleyball Men's World Championship as the host nation.

Head coach Angiolini Frigoni is confident in the team's year-long preparation, which included international tournaments and training camps in Asia, America, and Europe.

However, Frigoni is tempering expectations, stating that the team should not feel pressured as they are novices on such a large stage.

Alas Pilipinas is grouped in Pool A with Tunisia, Egypt, and Iran.

Their first match will be against Tunisia on opening day at the Mall of Asia Arena.

The team will then face Egypt on September 16 and Iran on September 18 to conclude pool play.

Frigoni stressed that the team has nothing to lose and should play with confidence, while also calling for strong home crowd support.
