The VNL (Volleyball Nations League), the premier annual international volleyball competition featuring the world’s leading national teams, will once again bring together the sport’s top teams in Bangkok. The SPONSOR Women’s Volleyball Nations League 2026 – Bangkok presented by Hatari will showcase elite international competition, bringing together two leading brands in one of volleyball’s most engaged markets.
SPONSOR, No.1 Sport Drink in Thailand, an electrolyte beverage designed to rehydrate and replenish the body for active lifestyles, continues its long-standing relationship with international volleyball. The brand strengthens its partnership as Title Partner in Thailand for its third consecutive VNL, following previous editions of the competition and the FIVB Women’s World Cup, and most recently served as a regional partner in 2025, marking its fourth year overall partnering with Volleyball World.
Hatari, a leading Thai brand in cooling solutions, strengthens its commitment to international volleyball, having previously supported the 2025 FIVB Women’s World Cup, and now expanding its presence through the VNL Bangkok stop.
As part of the partnership, both brands will benefit from strong visibility and fan engagement opportunities, including on-court branding and in-venue activations.
Over the years, SPONSOR has brought energy, entertainment and memorable fan experiences to volleyball audiences both inside and outside the arena. In 2026, the brand is set to raise the excitement even further with new activities and interactive experiences throughout VNL.
Hatari will also hold category exclusivity across air conditioning and fan products, helping enhance comfort and the spectator experience within the venue.
Thailand continues to be one of volleyball’s most established destinations, with a deeply engaged fan base and a strong track record of delivering world-class events. The market is seeing strong momentum for the sport, following Volleyball World’s recent strategic media partnership with Jas and Mono to expand volleyball coverage across Thailand and Southeast Asia
The SPONSOR Women’s VNL 2026 — Bangkok presented by Hatari will once again showcase elite international competition while celebrating the unique energy and atmosphere created by Thai fans.
