"Volleyball Legend" Kim Yeon-kyung, advisor to Heungkuk Life, will serve as an ambassador for the Asian Volleyball Federation (AVC) Women's Champions League.

AVC said on its official channel on the 15th, "AVC Chairman Ramon Soujara held a special meeting to confirm the appointment of Korean volleyball legend Kim Yeon-kyung as the first public relations ambassador for the AVC Women's Champions League."

"The leadership, passion, and experience of world-renowned icon and Olympic star Kim Yeon-kyung will inspire the next generation and further increase the popularity of women's volleyball across Asia," he added. "We look forward to the historical and exciting AVC Women's Champions League."

The 2026 AVC Women's Champions League will be held from April 26 to 30 in Goyang, Gyeonggi Province. It is a club team competition involving club teams from the top eight ranked countries among the 65 AVC member countries.

In South Korea, one team will participate, and in some cases, the number of Korean participating teams will increase to two or other national teams will participate as Iran's chances of absence increase.
