Quoted from FIVB: 2022, a year of non-stop volleyball and beach volleyball action

FIVB President looks forward to action-packed 2022 both on and off the court in a special edition sport intern op-ed.

FIVB President Dr Ary S Graça F° looks ahead with hope and optimism to a very special year for volleyball and beach volleyball in the first edition in 2022 of sport intern, the Olympic News Digest and International Inside Sports Newsletter.

“As the world enters 2022, we remain faced with significant challenges. Make no mistake, the year ahead will not be a return to the world as we once knew it and yet, I remain filled with great hope and optimism that this will be an incredible year for sport and the Olympic Movement. Why? Because we are better equipped than ever to deal with any challenges that come our way. We know how to adapt without hesitation and remain flexible. And ultimately, we are able to bring the joy of sport to fans worldwide while ensuring the health and well-being of everyone involved.

“For volleyball and beach volleyball in particular, 2022 is set to be a very special year. From both women’s and men’s world championships in volleyball and beach volleyball, to a revamped Volleyball Nations League (VNL) format and brand-new Beach Pro Tour, 2022 will be a year-round festival for our sport. No doubt we will see electrifying action, spectacular feats of sporting excellence and the emergence of champions both old and new.
