Sixteen teams from Asia are competing in the PLDT Home Fibr 2014 Asian Men’s Club Volleyball Championship (AMCC) which kicked off on Tuesday at SM MoA Arena and Cuneta Astrodome.
At the welcome ceremonies last Monday at the posh Alphaland City Club in Makati, the athletes were treated to a resort-themed cocktails. Entertainment was provided by Kapuso singer Jonalyn Viray and a band from Boracay who delighted the athletes and guests with their island music (reggae).
“We’re very excited with the holding of the Asian championships here,” said Gary Dujali, vice president and head of PLDT Home Broadband. “Volleyball is an incredibly popular sport in the country, and to be able to bring in all these top-caliber athletes to watch up close is going to be a treat for the fans. We’re live streaming the games with TVolution so that subscribers can watch the action in the comfort of their homes.”
The short program introduced the teams from different countries to the guests and members of the media.
Philippine celebrity player Richard Gomez was unable to attend the kick-off event as he was celebrating his birthday with his family and friends.
Dujali said that all games with the Philippine team, also known as the PLDT HOME TVolution Philippine Team, will be streamed live on TVolution and televised live on TV5, the official broadcast partner of the AMCC.
The competition runs till April 16. The team that wins the championship will represent Asia in the 2014 FIVB Volleyball Club World Championship in Brazin in May.
