New core memories unlocked for Fifi Sharma.
Fifi Sharma’s first tour of duty for Team Philippines is quite simply unforgettable.
The Akari Charger middle blocker shared some snaps of her memorable stint for Alas Pilipinas after the Alas Pilipinas’ historic bronze medal finish in the 2024 AVC Challenge Cup.
Sharma played a key role for Team Philippines, providing additional firepower in the offense and formed the fearsome twin towers alongside former DLSU teammate Thea Gagate.
Fifi took time to savor a historic moment, sharing a snap with power hitter and fan favorite Caitlin Tipping of Australia, who Alas Pilipinas beat twice in the tournament including the third-place match.

The 23-year-old middle blocker also got a chance to take a picture with tournament MVP Thi Bich Tuyen Nguyen, who fired 26 points anchored on 24 attacks, one block, and one ace to power Vietnam to back-to-back AVC Challenge Cup titles after blanking Kazakhstan in the finals.
