In order to provide non-mainstream players with opportunities to play and improve their performance, 14 men's and women's teams have decided to participate in the 2025 Business Federation Danyang Competition, which is scheduled to be held from July 7 to 15. The team consists of no more than 12 players in total, and they can meet one of the conditions for less than five years, less than 50% (18 games) of all-season V-League games, or less than 100 sets, and excluding the national team's call-up list. The federation will provide support for all matters, including accommodation costs.
The board of directors also decided to operate the KOVO youth team from 2026 to foster youth and discover excellent rookie players. In the face of many difficulties, such as a decrease in national team competitiveness, a decrease in youth elite teams, and the lack of an influx of excellent rookie players, the government decided to take the initiative to foster young players and find excellent players in the long term.
For students of the age who start exercising for the first time, it is planned to start with a team of men and women for the third and fourth grades (U-12) of Seoul-based elementary schools.
KOVO Youth Elite Team will be operated as a club team in 2026 after a preparation period in 2025. It will expand the operation of age-specific (U-15, U-18) club teams linked to U-12 players or additionally review the operation of U-12 club teams nationwide so that many players can flow into middle and high school elite teams. The federation plans to continue to make efforts to find outstanding players, including this youth elite project.
In addition, as part of an international exchange project to strengthen international competitiveness in professional volleyball, the 2025 Korean and Thai women's volleyball All-Star Super Match will be held at Hwaseong Indoor Gymnasium in Gyeonggi-do for two days on April 19 and 20. The Korean and Thai women's volleyball All-Star Super Match was held in Thailand in 2017 and back and forth between the two countries until 2019. It has been temporarily suspended since 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but it will be revived after six years with the conclusion of this business agreement. In the Super Match, Team KOVO and Thailand's All-Star will compete in the first and second games.
