Phl to host 2029 FIVB women’s tilt
The Philippines has been awarded the hosting rights for the 2029 FIVB Volleyball Women's World Championship, marking a historic first for the nation.
FIVB president Fabio Azevedo and Brazilian senator Leila Barros made the announcement on September 28 during the 2025 Men's World Championship in Manila.
This marks the second time the tournament will be held in Southeast Asia, with Thailand having hosted the 2025 edition.
Hosting the tournament automatically qualifies the Philippine national women's volleyball team, Alas Pilipinas Women, for the 2029 event.
The 2029 Worlds will be the centerpiece of a seven-year volleyball development program envisioned by Philippine Sports Commission chair Pato Gregorio.
This program aims to help facilitate the sport's evolution into an international force and will be the crown jewel among 20 international tournaments lined up by the FIVB in the country from 2026 to 2032.
The partnership aims to empower athletes and promote sports tourism towards economic growth, setting a historic blueprint for Philippine sports development.
