During the FIVB campaign kickoff at the SM Mall of Asia on Wednesday, August 13, Philippine National Volleyball Federation (PNVF) and Asian Volleyball Confederation (AVC) chief Ramon “Tats” Suzara echoed this sentiment of tapping the sport's provincial fans.
"I think hosting the event, we are ready. We just need to push more promotions for the ticket sales, lalo 'yung mga matches na 'di pa masyadong popular," said Suzara. "We need to promote [the MWCH 2025] more para sa mga provincial fans natin."
