The Chery Tiggo women's volleyball team is hoping that the No. 1 star of the Philippine women's volleyball, Jaja Santiago, can join to attend the Premier Volleyball League season about to start after a year of absence.
This is a tournament that brings together many stars of this island volleyball. However, this “volleyball dinosaur” can return to the country to attend or not has not been decided.
Whether the 1.96m high assistant is in the top side of the Japanese league volleyball tournament whether to attend this tournament depends on the achievement of Saitama Ageo Medics, the team that she is playing in Japan.
Chery Tiggo's head coach said the star's name was on the club's registration list but could not be able to play due to the coincidence between the two tournaments.
If Agreo could not reach the Top 4, Jaja Santiago could go home to attend the tournament but if this team continued, she would continue to miss this tournament for the second year in a row.
The V.League Japan season will end on March 26, the teams will continue to play the playoff round in April while Jaja Santiago's home tournament will have the first match on March 29.
Last year, Jaja Santiago could only return home to participate in June and missed the rest of the opening season in October because at that time the Japanese league was started.
In last year, because of the lack of Jaja Santiago, the host team only ranked 8th full of disappointment. The opportunity for this hand to beat home is quite vague when Ageo is in the top 4 charts.
