Philippines seeks improved V.League standing, aims for World Championship
The Philippines aims to improve its standing at the Southeast Asian Men's V.League, which takes place from July 9 to 13 in Candon City Arena, Ilocos Sur.
Alas Pilipinas, last year's bronze medalist, seeks world ranking points and a portion of the USD55,000 prize pool as they prepare for the 2025 FIVB Men's World Championship in September.
The champion will receive USD13,000 while the runner-up gets USD12,000; other placements earn decreasing amounts.
Cambodia has joined Thailand, Indonesia, Vietnam, and the Philippines in the tournament, which is supported by the Philippine Sports Commission and Philippine Olympic Committee.
Alas Pilipinas relies on key players like Marck Espejo, Steve Rotter, and Owa Retamar to secure a better finish this year.
