The Foton Tornadoes were a professional women's volleyball team in the Premier Volleyball League (PVL). The team was owned by United Asia Automotive Group, Inc. (UAAGI).[1]

History

The team debuted in the Philippine Superliga (PSL) during the 2014 Grand Prix as Foton Tornadoes.[2]

The original Foton team would be renamed as the Chery Tiggo Crossovers heading the 2020 season.[3][4] Chery joined the professional PVL in 2021.[5]

In June 2023, the revival of the Foton Tornadoes team was announced. They played with Chery at the 2023 PVL Invitational Conference[6] At least seven Chery players moved to Foton.[7] They have pledged to participate in the PVL for at least the next three years.[8]

The team however withdraw for the succeeding second All-Filipino Conference after several of its players did not have their contracts renewed. The team was revealed to have been temporarily revived to accommodate surplus players from Chery.[9]

International tournaments

As the champion of the 2015 PSL Grand Prix, Foton represented the Philippines, playing as Foton Pilipinas, in the 2016 Asian Women's Club Volleyball Championship held in Biñan, Laguna.[10] The team was reinforced by three selected players from other PSL teams as well as imports Lindsay Stalzer and Ariel Usher.[11] Italian coach and FIVB volleyball instructor Fabio Menta was named as head coach of the squad.[12] The team finished in 7th place overall after the 9-day competition.[13]

Having won the 2016 Grand Prix, the team was entered once more to the 2017 edition of the Asian Women's Club Volleyball Championship. However, the club begged off because of its depleted lineup due to player movements and injuries.[14] In its place, the Philippines was represented by the PSL all-star selection (playing as "Rebisco-PSL Manila").[15]

Notes

  1. ^ Shares history with the Chery Tiggo Crossovers. The original Foton team was renamed as Chery in 2020. Foton would be briefly revived as a separate team apart from Chery for the 2023 PVL Invitational Conference. That Foton team was dissolved after playing in that tournament.
