Wikipedia - Maharlika Pilipinas Volleyball Association
The Maharlika Pilipinas Volleyball Association (MPVA) is a women's developmental volleyball league in the Philippines consisting of nine teams.
The MPVA was founded in 2023 by eight-division boxing world champion Manny Pacquiao, who also founded the similarly-named Maharlika Pilipinas Basketball League (MPBL) in 2017. Similar to its basketball counterpart, it is meant to be a grassroots league with a focus on showcasing local, homegrown talents. It is the third league under the Maharlika Pilipinas name, following the MPBL and the Junior MPBL.
The Bacoor City Strikers are the current defending champions, after defeating the Negros Blue Hawks in the finals of the 2023 MPVA season.
History
Background
On August 29, 2017, Manny Pacquiao founded the Maharlika Pilipinas Basketball League, a semi-professional basketball league that uses a home-and-away system with a focus on showcasing local talents. By 2023, the league was promoted to a professional league and has run for five seasons. On June 15, 2023, Pacquiao shared his intent to create a home-and-away volleyball league similar to the MPBL that will cater to women athletes.
Launch
On September 15, 2023, Pacquiao formally launched the MPVA in a press conference with commissioner Michael Tavera. Announced in the press conference was a list of ten teams that were set to compete in the inaugural season, with all but one of them having a set locality. The league's future plans include a men's division in 2024 as well as its own junior's division. One month later, in another press conference, the lineup was decreased to eight teams, with three teams deferring and one team joining.
The MPVA's inaugural season began on October 22, 2023 at the Ynares Center in Antipolo, Rizal with the opening ceremonies followed by a doubleheader of matches. The inaugural season was won by the Bacoor City Strikers.
The league's 2024 season is set to begin on August 11, 2024, which is referred to by the league as its first season of full length. It will feature nine teams, one more than last season.
