History

The Philippines was the host country of the first ever Asian Women's U23 Volleyball Championship held in Pasig in 2015. The tournament served as the Asian qualifiers for the 2015 FIVB Volleyball Women's U23 World Championship held in Ankara, Turkey which the top two ranked teams qualified for the world championship.^[1]

The tournament was organized by the Asian Volleyball Confederation, in association with Larong Volleyball sa Pilipinas, Inc. (LVPI), the newly formed national federation for volleyball in the Philippines.^[2] The first U-23 team of the Philippines was headed by Alyssa Valdez of Ateneo De Manila University. The team ended in 7th place out of 12 nations.

In May 2019, the FIVB announced that as per the decision of the FIVB Board of Administration, the U23 World Championships had been abolished. Hence, the abolishment of all U23 teams worldwide, while retaining the remaining U18-19 and U20-21 youth teams."^[3]
