They should also give athletes match experience and strengthen sportsmanship and discipline. “Volleyball has a strong fan base in society. Therefore, interclub tournaments can be one way to expand public participation while encouraging the emergence of new talents in volleyball,” he said.

Jakarta Democratic Party leader Mujiyono described the event as a meeting place for clubs and sports communities. “The AHY Cup is a symbol of togetherness. On the court, the athletes compete seriously, but after the match they remain brothers,” he said.
