Yesterday 12/3, the Asian Volleyball Federation conducted the draw for the Championship Volleyball Championship of Asian Women's Clubs 2025 (AVC Women Championship 2025). Of the 12 teams attending, no reigning NEC Red Rockets.
The reason is not because the defending champions did not win the tournament, but the schedule conflict between the Japanese league and the Asian Women's Club Championships made this team forced to withdraw well.
The Japanese volleyball federation scheduled to play in the quarterfinals and semi -finals of the Japanese league volleyball tournament in the 3rd and 4th weeks of April.
It is known that the schedule of the Japanese Labor Federation was planned early and they also sent an Asian Labor Federation request to organize the Championship of Asian Women's Clubs 2025 in addition to the above period.
However, when the Asian Football Federation announced the schedule in January 2025, the schedule conflict between the two sides. The work is still continuing but not solving the problem.
The fact that Japan's representative does not attend will open up opportunities for other teams to win the world tournament when the Japanese teams have always “out” in this tournament.
Without the participation of teams from Japan, candidates for 2 tickets with the participation in the worldwide female club championship will be Chinese teams, Kazakhstan, Thailand and Vietnam.
