FIVB Club World Championship: Calicut Heroes will lock horns with debutant Delhi Toofans in the third season final of Prime Volleyball League, here on Thursday

Calicut Heroes ended the league stage on top of the table with 12 points from 8 matches and began the Super 5s with a 2-point head start. They triumphed over Mumbai Meteors and Bengaluru Torpedoes in the Super 5s to finish on top of the table again and secured their first-ever Finals appearance in league history.

Speaking at the press conference, Calicut Heroes skipper Jerome Vinith said, "We are ecstatic that the Calicut Heroes have made it to the Final for the first time but we aren’t satisfied yet, we would like to repay the faith and support that has been showered upon us by our fans day in, day out. The competition in this league is very fierce and it was not easy to make it this far. Although, we believe we have the talent and determination to secure the trophy tomorrow. Winning the Final will also earn us the opportunity to compete at the prestigious FIVB Club World Championship, which is an extra motivation for us."
