The tournament will consist of district teams and it will be played in the second half of the year.
Meanwhile, each team will be allowed a select a particular number of players from other states and foreign countries. Furthermore, the organizers of KPVL have started discussions with television channels to broadcast the league on TV. Moreover, the competition will also be telecast on an OTT platform.
“It has been absolutely overwhelming to see the response the RuPay Prime Volleyball League has received in the last couple of weeks and we would like volleyball mania to continue throughout the year,” Tuhin Mishra, Co-Founder & MD, Baseline Ventures said.
“Muthoot Pappachan Group is committed to supporting and promoting volleyball in India. In Kerala, the sport is well connected to the grassroots and has a rich legacy of producing outstanding players for the nation,” Kochi Blue Spikers owner Thomas Muthoot said.
“The KPVL will create a big platform for volleyball talents, especially from the state, as we believe the league to be a game-changer in popularising the sport,” he said.
Meanwhile, the inaugural season of the Prime Volleyball League was a success as the final was played between Ahmedabad Defenders and Kolkata Thunderbolts at the Gachibowli Indoor Stadium, Hyderabad on Sunday. Consequently, Baseline Ventures will aim to make Kerala Premier Volleyball League another success.
Seven teams had participated in PVL in a month-long tournament. It will be interesting to note how many teams will take part in KPVL later in the year.
