FOUR of the busiest sporting venues in Metro Manila will be used as training venues for the 2025 FIVB Men's Volleyball World Championship from Sep. 12 to 28.

Philippine National Volleyball Federation (PNVF) president Ramon 'Tats' Suzara has identified the Philsports Arena in Pasig, Filoil EcoOil Centre in San Juan, and Ninoy Aquino Stadium and Rizal Memorial Coliseum in Manila as sites for team practices.
All four have already been approved by the FIVB, as per Suzara.

Some of these venues were previously used by competing nations in the last three editions of the Volleyball Nations League (VNL) in Manila — most of whom will return to the country for this year’s global conclave.
The four training sites will be split among a tournament-high 32 teams, including Alas Pilipinas.
While training schedules are still being sorted out, it remains to be seen whether local sporting leagues such as the PBA, PVL, UAAP, and NCAA can still host their matches during the 16-day World Championship run.

The two lone competition venues will be exclusively used for the tournament: those being the Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay and the Smart Araneta Coliseum in Quezon City.
Alas Men will play all of its matches at the Mall of Asia Arena starting Sep. 12 to begin Pool A action against African champion Tunisia.
The entirety of the knockout stage and both opening and closing ceremonies will also be held at the Pasay venue.
