“We enjoyed tremendous success in Bengaluru as fans came in numbers to enjoy the thrilling volleyball action. We are now coming to Hyderabad again, we were here last time but it was during Covid. We already have a huge fan base in the city and we are excited to see fans back in the stands here,” he said.

Hyderabad Black Hawks Principal owner Abhishek Reddy also spoke at the press conference and gave a brief glimpse of his vision for the franchise in the years to come. “Our goal has always been to bring excitement into people’s lives.
