ENCOURAGED by the success of the ongoing 2025 Southeast Asian Volleyball League, Candon City Mayor Eric Singson is wasting no time taking the next steps for his sports tourism program and announced on Saturday the plans to host the Asian Volleyball Confederation (AVC) Women\u2019s Nations Cup<\/a> set June 6 to 13 next year.<\/p>\n

Interestingly, the program now leads to a newly-coined volleyball tourism campaign as Singson continues to level up the games being presented at the Candon City Arena after initially hosting professional basketball and volleyball leagues.<\/p>\n

The 2025 SEA Volleyball League, the region\u2019s top-flight volleyball competition, is the first international sporting event held at the Candon City Arena and Singson said he is inspired by the enthusiastic local fan response.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur people here enjoy the matches a lot,\u201d Singson said in a press conference with Philippine National Volleyball Federation president Ramon \u201cTats\u201d Suzara on Saturday at the Hotel Van Gogh Candon. \u201cThey\u2019re shouting, which we\u2019ve never heard before. The people are seeing the game at a new level.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cDito natin makikita yung laro ng volleyball na tama,\u201d he said. \u201cA high standard of competition.\u201d<\/p>\n

Suzara, also president of the AVC, is pleased to hear Singson\u2019s willingness to help sustain the national and continental federation\u2019s initiatives to enhance volleyball tourism.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are tourist packages now being promoted. Imagine fans from other countries coming to watch the FIVB Volleyball Men\u2019s World Championship,\u201d Suzara said. \u201cThere\u2019s a lot of interest from other countries.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSame with bringing international volleyball to Candon City, this is in line with our new slogan of \u2018volleyball tourism,\u2019\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

From five nations, the city prepares to host 12 nations at the continental level, and Singson is confident 11 months is enough after the SEA V.League experience.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are learning the ropes. The SEA V.League, ito yung umpisa para matuto kami para i-handle and host an international sports event,\u201d Singson said. \u201cOf course, with Mr. Suzara with me, I am confident we can do our part.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ahead of the staging of the next tournament, Candon City is working with the PNVF for the hosting of a training camp for a team competing in the FIVB Volleyball Men\u2019s World Championships set Sept 12 to 28 at the Araneta Coliseum and Mall of Asia Arenas.<\/p>\n

Candon City, through the PNVF, is set to send the letter of intent to AVC headquarters but is virtually assured of being awarded the hosting rites with still no standout competition for the bid.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
