LINGAYEN–The 2019 Beach Volleyball Challenge Cup will be held in Pangasinan this summer.

The Philippine Super Liga’s cup (PSL), one of the most-anticipated beach league in the country, now on its fifth edition, is about to sizzle in Pangasinan from May 16-18.

Panganiban said this year’s beach volleyball cup is only the edition that will be held out-of-town.

He said the tournament will also serve as a warm-up for the upcoming SEA Games.

“We are so thankful that the province of Pangasinan and its Provincial Sports Development and Management Council (PSDMC) are willing to take the challenge to make this a success,” Panganiban said.

All teams will be staying at the NRSCC dormitory.
