Philippine Men's Volleyball coach doubts team readiness for World Championship

Alas Pilipinas Men's head coach Angiolino Frigoni expressed uncertainty about the team's preparation for the upcoming FIVB Men's Volleyball World Championship, which starts in less than 100 days.

Despite sweeping a three-day, four-team Invitationals, including a five-set thriller over Thailand on Independence Day, Frigoni emphasized that their work is far from done and kept expectations grounded.

Frigoni highlighted Marck Espejo's performance during the matches and acknowledged progress against Southeast Asian rivals like Thailand.

The Philippines will compete against Iran, Egypt, and Tunisia in the preliminary round of the World Championship scheduled to begin on September 12 at Mall of Asia Arena and Smart Araneta Coliseum.

Frigoni and his players are calling for Filipino fans to rally behind men's volleyball during the tournament, emphasizing the importance of fan engagement for success.

Espejo echoed Frigoni's sentiments, welcoming the growing attention on men's volleyball and thanking supporters for their continuous support.
