PVL gets Ilocos Norte nod for pro league launch

For all the multiple resets, training bubble woes and other issues, including the spike of Covid-19 cases, the Premier Volleyball League finally unveils its Open Conference on July 17 in Ilocos Norte with 10 teams all set to serve their respective title drives for bragging rights as champion of the country's first-ever professional volley league.

This after the Provincial Government of Ilocos Norte approved the conduct of the five-week bubble tournament at the PCV Socio-Civic Cultural Center in Bacarra with the Games and Amusements Board, which regulates and supervises pro sports, issuing licenses to the league, the teams and their respective players.
