Akari Lighting & Technology Corporation became the newest team in the Premier Volleyball League.
The league announced this Tuesday on its official website, becoming the 10th team that will take part in their future conferences.
“We are glad to welcome Akari to our PVL family. They have been in volleyball for so long and it’s good to see them go into the professional ranks,” said organizer Sports Vision President Ricky Palou.
Akari first came into the PVL scene three years ago, supporting Adamson during the 2019 Collegiate Conference.
“We are excited to join the PVL. For Akari, it feels like we are graduating college since we are entering the pros," said Akari sports director Russell Balbacal.
“For years, we have been supporting grassroots and collegiate teams. We feel like this is the right time to go a level higher.”
Akari is still in the process of building its squad with the help of team manager Mozzy Ravena.
