Korea Volleyball Association Selects Mikasa Volleyball as the Official Match Ball for the “2025 KVA V3 Division League”… Supplied by Wave Company
The Korea Volleyball Association (KVA) announced that Mikasa volleyballs, a Japanese brand, will be used as the official match ball for the “2025 KVA V3 Division League,” scheduled to take place from July to November across regional venues nationwide. The Mikasa balls will be supplied through Wave Company, the official distributor in Korea. The Association explained that the decision was made due to the product’s strong grip, trajectory stability, and international reputation.
The “V3 Division League” marks the starting point of a long-term league system that bridges recreational and professional volleyball. The league will be divided into categories for boys and girls under 12 (U12), under 15 (U15), and under 18 (U18). It will be held nationwide—including Seoul, Gyeonggi, Incheon, Busan, Daejeon, and Gwangju—with preliminary and main rounds leading up to the final round. Matches will follow the six-player format under recreational volleyball rules.
Starting with the V3 League, the Association plans to establish a tiered promotion and relegation system: expanding to V4 (municipal level) in 2028, V2 (metropolitan level) in 2030, and V1 (integrated professional and recreational league) in 2032. This structure aims to bridge the gap between recreational and elite volleyball while broadening the sport’s reach nationwide.
Through this league, Wave Company, Mikasa’s official distributor in Korea, will supply official match balls for a nationwide competition in a stable manner. In addition to Mikasa volleyballs, Wave Company provides a variety of sports equipment and protective gear to the domestic market, and the firm plans to use this collaboration to strengthen volleyball infrastructure across both recreational and professional levels.
A KVA representative stated, “Ensuring consistency in official match balls is critical to improving performance and elevating the quality of the league. By reflecting the feedback of participating teams and field staff, we will develop the V3 Division League into a bridge that connects grassroots and elite volleyball.”
