History
The SEA V.League, formerly known as ASEAN Grand Prix, was first held in 2019 and featured four nations: Indonesia, the Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam. As of 2023, some other nations in Southeast Asia beside the aforementioned ones expressed their interest in participating in the tournament. The Southeast Asian Volleyball Association reported that a new tournament would be created, following the same project of Nations League/Challenger Cup by FIVB.
The creation of SEA V.League Challenge was announced in early 2024, which included four other national teams in Southeast Asia (Cambodia, Laos, Malaysia, and Singapore). Men's tournament will make inaugural edition in 2024, while women's tournament has not yet been scheduled. The winner of SEA V.League Challenge will earn the right to participate in the next edition of SEA V.League, replacing the last placed team in the recent edition of SEA V.League.[1][2]
