PVL allows imports to play after ITC signing, replays opening games

Foreign reinforcements in the Premier Volleyball League (PVL) Reinforced Conference are now allowed to play after their International Transfer Certificates (ITCs) were signed and activated on Wednesday morning.

The PVL has decided to replay the two opening game matches that were played without imports to ensure fairness and competitive parity among all teams.

This decision was made with the backing of stakeholders and teams, aiming to deliver the best possible experience for fans.

Several teams, including ZUS Coffee, Akari, Choco Mucho, and Capital1, opened their campaigns without their foreign players due to a dispute over ITC endorsements by the Philippine National Volleyball Federation (PNVF).

The PVL had previously pointed the blame on the PNVF for allegedly refusing to endorse the required ITCs and using them as leverage to compress the Reinforced Conference schedule in favor of longer Alas Pilipinas Women national team training.
