The Korean Volleyball Federation (hereinafter referred to as the Federation) announced on the 16th that the women's team of the 2025 Yeosu-NH Nonghyup Cup professional volleyball tournament will be held normally from the 21st (Sun) with the approval of the International Volleyball Federation (FIVB)."
The International Volleyball Federation (FIVB) approved national players to participate in the cup as they are not participating in the women's world championship.
All domestic players, including the national team, are allowed to participate. In addition, foreign/Asian quarter players were approved to participate in the tournament after receiving an International Transfer Agreement (ITC) except for players included in the player entry (including reserve players) of the World Championship countries.
However, since Pepper Savings Bank's Shimamura and Korea Expressway Corporation's Tanacha are included in the World Championship entry and cannot participate, the federation decided not to allow foreign/Asian quarter players to participate in the tournament for the sake of equity for each club after discussions with women's clubs.
In addition, FIVB did not allow foreign teams to participate in the tournament, so Deukjian (Vietnam), the invited team, was not allowed to participate in the tournament, and the schedule of the game will remain the same except for Deukjian's game.
Tickets for the women's game will be opened sequentially from 11 a.m. on the 17th. The federation will do its best to ensure the normal operation of the women's tournament," he said.
