FIVB President Opens The FIVB Board Of Administration MeetingMeeting hosted in hybrid format in the FIVB Headquarters in Lausanne and online

FIVB President, Dr Ary S Graça F° yesterday opened the FIVB Board of Administration meeting and stressed the importance of working together to spread and strengthen volleyball around the world.

Addressing the Board of Administration, the FIVB President stressed the importance of working together as a united team:

“By working as one united family, we can build a lasting legacy for volleyball. As I have told you many times, we must reinvest the money that comes from the sport back into the sport. That’s why during the Congress we launched Volleyball Empowerment. Volleyball Empowerment is a revolutionary development programme where we support national teams, athletes and National Federations to achieve their goals and reach their full potential.

“The more we can spread volleyball across the world, the more we can increase the number and level of national teams participating in our main events. And this will increase the relevance of volleyball worldwide, making it more popular than ever before.  By developing the sport and creating stronger volleyball nations, the entire Volleyball Family becomes stronger. And by creating stronger national teams, we can inspire new generations of players and fans to engage with our beloved sport.”

A number of important topics were discussed during the meeting, including the Finance and Legal presentations, reports of the Presidents of Continental Confederations and updates on the FIVB events. The Board of Administration also listened to the report on Volleyball Empowerment and the work of Volleyball World, the company launched by the FIVB and CVC Capital Partners as the commercial entity for volleyball and beach volleyball around the world, that aims to increase the profile and popularity of the sport through fresh investment.
