The ‘2026 Korea-China-Japan Women’s Volleyball Top Club Super Match Jeju Tournament’ will be held on August 1st and 2nd at the Jeju Halla Gymnasium. Teams with championship-contending strength from their respective leagues will gather in one place. Korea’s Heungkuk Life and Hyundai E&C, Japan’s Osaka Marvelous, and China’s Shanghai Bright Ubest are expected to compete fiercely. Players on the national team longlist and foreign players are not allowed to participate under International Volleyball Federation (FIVB) regulations.

On the 1st, ‘Volleyball Empress’ Kim Yeon-kyung will personally attend the ceremonial first pitch event. Heungkuk Life, Osaka, and Shanghai are all teams where Kim Yeon-kyung previously played. It is also highly significant that club teams representing various countries are gathering in one place following Kim Yeon-kyung’s retirement in 2025. The performances of setter Gu Sol, who joined Hyundai E&C, and Pyo Seung-ju and Go Min-ji, who joined Heungkuk Life, are also drawing attention.
KBS N, the organizer of this tournament, plans to host high-level international friendly volleyball competitions as the official broadcaster for professional volleyball and continuously develop them. It also aims to contribute to strengthening the international competitiveness of Korean volleyball by facilitating exchanges with overseas teams.
In addition, a festival combining volleyball and culture will be held. On August 1st, singer KCM will perform alongside the Seogwipo Provincial Choir and the Bella Children’s Choir. On August 2nd, the male vocal group Artezio and the female popera duo Eins will further heat the Jeju court.
A performance by the live band Emilion is also scheduled. They will perform live during the team’s entrance. Fans visiting the gymnasium will be able to feel the festive atmosphere from the moment they enter fully. For the first time in history, club teams from Korea, China, and Japan will compete against each other in Korea. It is a golden opportunity to enjoy a special summer vacation in Jeju along with volleyball.
Tickets for this tournament can be reserved through Ticketlink and will also be available for purchase on-site on the day of the match. Proceeds from ticket sales will be donated to contribute to the development of local volleyball.
