PVL semis postponed due to power outages

The semifinal round of the 2024 Premier Volleyball League (PVL) Reinforced Conference initially set on Thursday, August 29, has been moved to Saturday, August 31, due to a power outage at PhilSports Arena in Pasig City.

The highly anticipated knockout Final Four matches, featuring unbeaten Akari facing off against No. 4 PLDT, and second-seed Cignal battling No. 3 Creamline, have been rescheduled on Saturday, August 31, at the SM Mall of Asia in Pasay City.

Due to this development, the 2024 Reinforced Conference Final will now be held on Monday, September 02, at the SMART Araneta Coliseum in Quezon City.

All tickets purchased for the original date will be automatically refunded, with the refund amount credited back to the bank, card, or e-wallet account used for the transaction.

According to the league, the adverse weather conditions have led to significant damage to several Meralco power posts supplying to the PhilSports Arena, rendering the facility inoperable for the scheduled event.

In a statement, the PVL sincerely apologized for any inconvenience caused by this change and expressed appreciation for the understanding and patience of all those affected.
