Alas Pilipinas had no answer for No. 43 Tunisia as they succumbed to a straight-sets defeat in the 2025 FIVB Men's World Championship opener.
Alas Pilipinas failed to secure a historic victory against world No. 43 Tunisia after bowing in straight sets, 25-13, 25=17, 25-23, in the 2025 FIVB Men’s World Championship opener at the jampacked Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay City on Friday, September 12.
