History
editBackground
editIn 2022, the Sports Vision established the V-League, a revival of the former Shakey's V-League that lasted from 2004 to 2016.[1][2] Historically, teams from CESAFI have competed in the SVL,[3] with the last time being the 2014 SVL 1st Conference, which saw Southwestern University's Lady Cobras take part.
V-League Visayas was first announced on March 21, 2025 with Ken Ucang as its commissioner. Sports Vision president Ricky Palou stated that the tournament will "complement the CESAFI tournaments by giving players more opportunities to excel." Multiple schools across Cebu City have backed and expressed support for the regional league.[4][5][6]
Launch
editThe inaugural season of V-League Visayas will start on July 6, 2025. It will feature six CESAFI teams who will compete in both the women's and men's divisions.[7]
