The Philippines’ premier indoor arena prepares to welcome the world’s best volleyball teams for a historic championship showdown.
Volleyball fans, athletes, and special guests gathered at SM Mall of Asia Music Hall for the highly anticipated 30-day countdown to the FIVB Men’s Volleyball World Championship—a first in Philippine sports history and a milestone for major sponsor SM Supermalls.
The grand launch featured the unveiling of the event’s official soundtrack, introduction of its mascot, and a rare glimpse of the championship trophy, which will tour select SM Supermalls across Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao.
SM Mall of Asia Arena will host the tournament’s pool and finals phases. As one of Asia’s largest indoor venues with 20,000-seat capacity, the Arena meets international standards with cutting-edge acoustics, advanced lighting systems, spacious concourses, and premium seating areas—having hosted prestigious global events.
This historic tournament follows the phenomenal success of the 2023 FIBA Basketball World Cup, further solidifying the Philippines’ reputation as a premier destination for international sports.
“We are honored to host the FIVB Men’s Volleyball World Championship for the first time. This is not just a game, it is history in the making,” said Arnel C. Gonzales, Vice President and General Manager of the SM Mall of Asia Arena.
Opening day promises explosive entertainment as K-pop sensation BOYNEXTDOOR performs before the highly anticipated first match between Alas Pilipinas and Tunisia.
