|Manila Bulletin
Creamline and PLDT begin their respective title quest in the 2025 AVC Women's Champions League on Sunday, April 20, when they tackle separate foes at the Philsports Arena in Pasig City.
Still fresh from a stinging title loss in the Premier Volleyball League's AllFilipino Conference, the Cool Smashers aimed to put that memory behind them when they clash with the Jordan-based Al Nassr Club at 4 p.m.
The High Speed Hitters, a late entry and a wildcard in the tournament, also hope for a strong start when they battle Australia's Queensland Pirates at 7 p.m.
Chinese Taipei's Taipower and Hong Kong's Hip Hing Women's Volleyball Team raise the curtain at 10 a.m., followed by the 1 p.m. tussle between China's Baic Motor Volleyball and Iran Volleyball Club.
