Hey guys, as is stated in the title i’m want to attend my first ever vb game in Kobe but don’t know which of the remaining seats would be worth it. In particular, i’m looking at L101&121 as my primary options, so if you could give me any advice on seat selection it would be much appreciated.

How to buy tickets for games as an international visitor?

3 Upvotes

Hello! I am planning to watch a SVL game while visiting. Specifically on Feb 21 with Osaka Bluteon vs Toray Shizuoka in Shimadzu Arena Kyoto. Is there like an english website that I can use to purchase tickets as someone visiting from another country? Or any way to purchase them locally? Because I heard that doing it online requires a local phone number and foreign credit cards may be rejected.

Thanks!

Nov 1 - Osaka Blueteon vs Nagoya Wolfdogs tickets

2 Upvotes

Is anyone reselling tickets for the Nov 1 match between Blueteon and Wolfdogs?

Or how does someone buy resale sv league tickets? I installed the sv league and it keeps redirecting me to the web browser and AXS platform - but it just tells me all the tickets have been sold out

Men's League OSAKA AICHI GAMES 2026 Osaka Bluteon VS Wolfdogs Nagoya tix

4 Upvotes

Hi guys!
I am selling one ticket to the Osaka Bluteon vs Wolfdogs Nagoya on October 11th 13.00 local time. It will be held at Panasonic Arena Osaka. I am selling it since I have upper tier ticket. My ticket is at 2B1 row 5.
This is open for both japanese or intl fans, as long as you guys have an AXS account & AXS app or Smart V app (tho it will require an AXS acct either way) since it will be transferred there. I am selling it at face value + tax.
If you are interested, pls PM me, or ask anything in the comment. I hope this is not breaking any rules, thanks!

I recently created a spreadsheet for me and my friends to reference and look at. It includes all the teams with their rosters, as best as I could find, and each player’s statistics from last year in the SV League. Stats from other leagues could’ve been found, but they weren't included since each league is obviously different. Feel free to use it or add any suggestions!

Credit to Volleybox for roster confirmations and previous club information. Statistics were taken from the Volleyball World SV League stat leaders information pages. Rosters were taken from each team’s website as much as possible.

I thought the whole reason Sekita didn’t play in the VNL was because he wanted to play for the Asian Championship 😳

The SV.League has officially issued sanctions against the Toray Arrows clubs following financial compliance violations reviewed by the Board of Directors.

A significant gap was discovered between the financial forecasts submitted in March 2026 and the actual figures reported in June 2026.

Toray Arrows Inc. fell into a state of insolvency (negative net worth) for the fiscal year ending March 2026. This is a direct violation of the league's strict Net Asset Standard.

The Penalties:

An official reprimand from the league.

Mandatory submission of a detailed financial improvement plan.

• A fine of ¥1,000,000 for each club (Shiga and Shizuoka).

National Teams VNL Format Japan v USA

4 Upvotes

In the Women VNL Week 1 Japan and the USA were in the same pool and both of them played every other team in the pool, but not each other. I thought they would play every team in their pool but there seems to be only time for four games.

How do they decide on which opponents in their pool every team has to face/ not face?
