K-pop group BOYNEXTDOOR has now been appointed the world global ambassadors of the FIVB Men’s Volleyball World Championship.
The Philippine National Volleyball Federation and Asian Volleyball Confederation president Ramon Suzara announced the news recently, saying, “We have carefully reviewed and decided on the selection of BOYNEXTDOOR, as a truly pivotal move in elevating the global profile of volleyball and igniting excitement for the event.”
“With the championship proudly hosted in the Philippines, this partnership presents an incredible opportunity to engage fans across the world, with the BOYNEXTDOOR’s unique appeal and dynamic global influence to attract a wider and more diverse audience profile.”
The group, consisting of Sungho, Riwoo, Jaehyun, Taesan, Leehan and Woonhak, will be headlining the opening ceremony on 12 September at Manila’s Mall of Asia Arena.
Meanwhile, BOYNEXTDOOR stated that they are excited to be the global ambassadors, and that it was meaningful since the South Korean national team is participating as well.
“We will do our utmost to help many people feel inspired by volleyball and experience its charm. Together with all the fans who love volleyball, we will be rooting for this tournament to be a success,” they added.
