The remaining matches of the Vatsalya Everest Women's Volleyball League, which was postponed due to the protests on Bhadra 23 and 24, will be held from Kartik 26. Organizer Infinity Dreams Pvt. Ltd. announced in a press release on Tuesday that the remaining 7 matches will be held from Kartik 26 to 29.
The organizers have already taken approval from the Nepal Volleyball Association for the continuation of the league. The remaining matches of the league will be held in Kathmandu, the statement said. Preparations are progressing rapidly to complete the remaining matches and the revised match schedule will be made public soon, the organizers said.
Earlier, 9 matches of the league were held at the multi-purpose covered hall at the Pokhara Stadium. The organizers postponed two matches on Bhadra 24 on the second day of the Gen-G movement, and later postponed the entire league.
6 franchise teams are participating in the league. Karnali Yashwis, Pokhara Ninjas, Lalitpur Queens, Kathmandu Spikers, Madhesh United and Lumbini Lavaz were the title contenders.
By the end of the fourth day of the league, the two teams that would play in the final had almost been decided. Karnali and Lalitpur, who had played 3 matches each in the league, were in the top two. After winning all the matches played and collecting 9 points, these two teams were almost certain to make it to the final.
Lumbini had collected 2 points from 3 matches. Pokhara Ninjas, who have not won a single game, have added one point. In this case, Lumbini and Pokhara had no chance of reaching the final. There was still a slight mathematical possibility that one of the teams, Madhesh United and Kathmandu Spikers, who were tied at 3 points each, would reach the final. For this, Madhesh would have to defeat Karnali in the league stage match and Lumbini in the next match.
Kathmandu would have to defeat Lumbini Lavaz and Pokhara Ninjas in the remaining two matches. In addition, for these two teams to reach the final, Karnali and Lalitpur would have to lose both matches, which was very difficult. That is why it was a no-brainer that the defending champion Karnali and runner-up Lalitpur would face each other in the second edition final.
All teams had 18 foreign players, 3-3, to play the league. Players from Croatia, Thailand, Netherlands, Russia, Romania, America, Brazil, Greece, Bulgaria and Kyrgyzstan had come to Pokhara. The players returned home after the protests intensified. The Hotel Sarovar in Lakeside, Pokhara, where the players were staying, was set on fire.
