They include malls, universities, and privately-owned sports hubs around Cebu City and neighboring Mandaue City.
As a dry run for the 2024 Palarong Pambansa, the games of CVIRAA will be held in the same venues, except for chess with its venue yet to be announced.
“90 percent of the venues of the Palarong Pambansa will be used for CVIRAA. Chess isn’t yet confirmed where we will be holding it,” said Pages.
On March 12 to 15, over a hundred sports managers, regional directors, tournament managers, and Department of Education (DepEd) assistant secretary for field operations Francis Cesar Bringas will be in Cebu for an ocular inspection of the venues according to Pages.
