India To Host Volleyball World Championships For Next 2 Years
The Volleyball World Championships will be held in India for 2023 and 2024. The top Indian volleyball players will participate in the Prime Volleyball League (PVL).
The Pro Volleyball League is back in the spotlight as it prepares for its second season. India will now host the Fédération Internationale de Volleyball’s Volleyball World Cup World Championship for the following two years. The Pro Volleyball League champions will also play in this league, which is the league’s main draw.
