We wanted to make volleyball more accessible for everyone, not only to play but also to watch live.
 
With hard work, dedication and great effort, we have strengthened considerably by revolutionising our sports presentation, bringing the game closer to spectators. Now we are launching the Volleyball Nations League, a competition equal for men and women which brings together the best nations in the world.
