THE main supporter of the national men’s and women’s national teams at the Asian Club Championships hosted by Thailand sees the international volleyball club competition as a great opportunity for local athletes to get the all-important foreign exposure that will hone their game.
Noric Ng, Business Unit Head of Rebisco, said everyone at Rebisco is happy that volleyball is alive despite the global situation and that the country’s veterans and next generation athletes are able to play their game at a high level of competition.
“Rebisco is truly committed to pursue its passion for volleyball by supporting the game at all levels, from grassroots development, to competitive sports in the amateur and professional levels, and at the national level through this partnership with the PNVF,” Ng said.
Rebisco started supporting the national volleyball teams since 2017 and sealed a three-year partnership with the Philippine National Volleyball Federation (PNVF) to run a long-term, consistent national team program by providing regular funding and participation in competitions.
Rebisco’s sights are set on a podium finish in the 31st Southeast Asian Games in Vietnam in 2022.
“Our dream is to help the PNVF grow the sport and make this game an expression of the Filipino soul, locally and internationally,” Ng said. “Our long-term goal is to make the Philippines a recognized international power in volleyball.”
