Choco Mucho Flying Titans setter Deanna Wong recently turned a longtime dream into reality at the 2025 FIVB Volleyball Men’s World Championship, meeting some of her volleyball idols in person.
Choco Mucho Flying Titans setter Deanna Wong is admired not just for her sharp court vision and quick sets, but also for the way she inspires fans with her dedication and passion for the game.
With a growing fanbase in the Philippines and beyond, Wong continues to connect with volleyball enthusiasts who look up to her as both an athlete and a role model.
Recently, Wong took to social media to share a heartfelt set of photos reflecting on a truly special experience during the 2025 FIVB Volleyball Men’s World Championship.
“Pinapanood ko lang kayo since college days (except Moni) and finally got the chance to meet you in person. 🥹” she wrote, capturing the mix of awe, gratitude, and excitement that many of her fans could relate to.
For years, she had followed some of her idols from afar, watching their matches and learning from their respective styles.
Finally, she got the chance to meet them in person—Micah Christenson, Moni Nikolov, and Simone Giannelli—turning her into a fan herself.
For Wong, #2025MWCH was more than just a world-class competition—it was a dream realized.
It highlighted the side of professional athletes that fans rarely see: the human moments, the admiration for peers, and the joy of stepping into a space that inspires them as much as they inspire others.
