    The Chameleons are expected to see action starting Oct. 16 in the All-Filipino Conference.

    In an official statement by Akari Sports, the Chameleons are confirmed to be the company’s expansion team as a ‘sub-brand’ of the Akari Lighting and Technology Corporation.

    NXLED is the third addition to the league in the 2022-23 season after Farm Fresh and Foton’s arrival in the Invitationals.

    The Chameleons and Power Chargers are also the fourth set of PVL sister teams after Creamline-Choco Mucho, PLDT-Cignal and Chery Tiggo-Foton.

    Since its inception in 2022, the Akari Chargers have registered six wins and 15 losses under their belt.

    Akari placed eighth in the All-Filipino and ninth in the Invitational.

    “We would like to thank the PVL for accepting NXLED as the newest team in the country’s only professional volleyball league,” said Akari sports director Russel Balbacal.

    “We hope to build a competitive NXLED team and also look forward to having a stronger partnership with Ricky Palou and the whole PVL organization,” he added.
