Mereophe Aevangeline Sharma (born April 27, 2001) popularly known as Fifi, is a Filipino volleyball player. She is currently playing as a middle blocker for the Akari Chargers in the Premier Volleyball League. [1]
Sharma played for the Lady Spikers of the De La Salle University in the University Athletic Association of the Philippines (UAAP). [2] She was scouted by La Salle coach Ramil de Jesus in 2013, when Sharma was still with the Far Eastern University Diliman. She only played for La Salle for Season 85, helping them win the women's volleyball title. [3]
After the conclusion of UAAP Season 85 in 2023, Sharma made herself available to get signed by a Premier Volleyball League (PVL) club. By this time the PVL has already professionalized. She was signed by the Akari Chargers. [4]
In May 2024, she became part of Philippine national team. She was part of the squad which competed in the 2024 AVC Challenge Cup and bagged the bronze medal for the country. [5]
Fifi Sharma is the daughter of former PBA player, Carlo Sharma. [6] Aware of her father's experience, the younger Sharma originally had no plans to a sporting career of her own. However she changed her mind in a bid to secure a high school scholarship at the Far Eastern University Diliman. [7] She tried getting into basketball but dropped it remarking how she did not like contact sports. [8] Instead she took up volleyball at age 15. [7]
She also dreamt of being a beach volleyball player, having played friendly matches with the Boracay Volleyball Club while on a family vacation in late 2024. [9]
