Speaking on the occasion, S Vasudevan, President, Volleyball Federation of India said that “The RuPay Pro Volleyball League is turning out to be a real game-changer for the sport of volleyball in the country. The league has ignited the aspirations of young volleyball players around the country and provided an opportunity for our players to rub shoulders with some of the best in the world. The results achieved by our U-23 men’s and Sr Men’s team at the Asian level over the past year are a testament of the same. We are confident that with our players getting world-class exposure through the league we will be able to take Indian Volleyball to greater heights in the coming years”.
