A global celebration of volleyball
The FIVB Volleyball Men’s World Championship is one of the most prestigious international tournaments, featuring the top 32 men’s teams from around the globe. More than just a competition, the event celebrates unity, camaraderie, and the universal love of the game.
Set to take place from September 12 to 28, 2025, matches will be held at two iconic venues: the Smart Araneta Coliseum in Quezon City and the Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay City.
Honda’s commitment to excellence
Guided by its sports philosophy—“Enjoying Challenges, Nurturing Challenges, and Connecting Challenges”—Honda is committed to fostering perseverance, growth, and unity both on and off the court.
By supporting this international event, the company continues to invest in talent development and community engagement, ensuring the spirit of sportsmanship thrives far beyond competition.

The partnership was officially sealed during a contract signing held at Gallio Events Hall in Aseana Drive, Parañaque City, attended by officials from PNVF, FIVB, and Honda Philippines.
A landmark sports partnership
This partnership marks a major milestone, making Honda the first 2-Wheel Motorcycle brand to sponsor the FIVB. As a result, Honda will enjoy prominent visibility throughout the event and access to various promotional opportunities, reinforcing its global brand presence and unwavering support for athletic excellence.
Reflecting on the partnership, Arai added, “We’re not just backing a world-class sporting event — we’re supporting a vibrant community of athletes, fans, and dreamers. We’re here to help people move forward, break limits, and keep striving for greatness.”
