The first tournament will be held in Kozhikode from February 20 to 28, the oraganisers announced.

Mammootty said, "Sports and entertainment always go hand in hand and KVL will definitely become the next blockbuster of Kerala."

Jitendra Joshi, CEO, SportzConsult, said this initiative, would take volleyball to next level in this country.
