“We believe that our sport structure has to be reinforced and adapted for the times to come. The economic crisis among other issues could be an obstacle, which only can be overcome through the joint work of AVP, FPV, Clubs, Regional Associations and Class Associations”, stated Vilela.

In conclusion, “we are highly motivated to lead this process. The unconditional support to all volleyball actors allow us to look into the future with optimism and hope.
