The European Volleyball Confederation allowed Russian teams to compete

The Administrative Council of the European Volleyball Confederation (CEV) allowed Russian teams to participate in competitions under its auspices. This is reported on the website of the organization.

The CEV solution also applies to beach volleyball. The nearest tournament in classical volleyball, which will be able to perform national teams of Russia, will be the League of Nations next season. The CEV release emphasizes that “specific implementation modalities and appropriate organizational arrangements will be developed and submitted to the administrative board for approval at a later date.”.

President of the All-Russian Volleyball Federation (VFV) Stanislav Shevchenko said that the organization welcomes the decision of CEV. He also stressed that the WFV is ready “for constructive work so that the Russian national teams could fully return to participation in international tournaments under the flag and with the anthem.”.

On July 8, the International Volleyball Federation (FIVB) lifted the ban on the participation of Russian athletes in competitions, which has been in force since March 2022.
