History
The team debuted in early October 2014 in the Grand Prix Conference of the 2014 PSL season as the Foton Tornadoes.[2] The team is owned by United Asia Automotive Group, Inc. (UAAGI), the distributors of Foton automobiles in the Philippines.[3] Heading to the 2020 Philippine Superliga season, the team rebranded themselves as the Chery Tiggo Crossovers in January 2020.[4] This followed the acquisition of team owners, UAAGI the rights to distribute Chery automobiles in the Philippines in late-2019.[3]
International tournaments
As the champion of the 2015 PSL Grand Prix, Foton represented the Philippines, playing as "Foton Pilipinas", in the 2016 Asian Women's Club Volleyball Championship held in Biñan, Laguna.[5] The team was reinforced by three selected players from other PSL teams as well as imports Lindsay Stalzer and Ariel Usher.[6][7] Italian coach and FIVB volleyball instructor Fabio Menta was named as head coach of the squad.[8] The team finished in 7th place overall after the 9-day competition.[9]
Foton also won the 2016 Grand Prix, however, the club opted not to participate in the 2017 Asian Women's Club Volleyball Championship stemming from its depleted lineup due to player movements and injuries.[10] In its place, the Philippines was represented by the PSL all-star selection (playing as "Rebisco-PSL Manila").[11]
