LIPA CITY, Philippines — Six clubs bannered by powerhouse Chery Tiggo Crossovers and F2 Logistics are all raring to go as the Philippine National Volleyball Federation (PNVF) Champions League rolls out its first-ever Champions League starting tomorrow at the Aquamarine Recreational Center gym here.
The Crossovers and the Cargo Movers loom as the heavy favorites in the inaugural tilt slated Nov. 20-25 preceding the seven-team men’s tournament on Nov. 29-Dec. 4.
Chery Tiggo is coming off a stellar championship run in the maiden pro season of the Premier Volleyball League (PVL) last August while the hungry F2, led by a bevy of national players, troops back into action after a long hiatus.
They will be up against the Tuguegarao Perlas Spikers, the Petro Gazz Angels, California Precision Sports and the Baguio Lady Highlanders in a five-day meet where the top team after the single-round robin play automatically wins the crown.
The PNVF said it’s all systems go with the arrival of the federation delegation on Wednesday and the entry of participating teams in batches yesterday at the La Virginia Hotel and Resort. Strict protocols are being followed inside the bubble.
