    “Ready to take the court by storm. After four years, we’re making our club volleyball comeback,” the team wrote on its social media accounts Thursday.

    Foton, the former mother team of Chery Tiggo, competed in the Philippine SuperLiga from 2014 to 2019, winning two championships and finishing runner-up thrice.

    A source confirmed to SPIN.ph that Foton wants to compete in the upcoming Invitational Conference slated to start on June 29.
