From The Herald (Harare)




THE senior women's national volleyball team players broke into tears after being informed that their trip to Algeria for the Olympic Games qualifiers had been called off.




The team was initially set to leave on Saturday but the date was rescheduled to Monday following the Zimbabwe Volleyball Association's failure to secure enough foreign currency.




ZVA had been banking on the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe to access to the U.S.$96 000 needed but the association hit a brick wall and were forced to cancelled the trip on Monday night.

Lausanne, March 7, 2008 – The 38 members of the FIVB Board of Administration and FIVB Commission Presidents shall meet in Lausanne from Wednesday 12 to Friday 14 March for the first time in the new Boardroom at “Château Les Tourelles”. Dr. Rubén Acosta will open and preside over the annual meeting, as the FIVB President has done since 1985. Many important questions will be on the table, particularly the use of a new ball in the Beijing Olympic Games, limitation of players coming from another National Federation, new Development Centres in South Africa, Nigeria, Argentina and other countries, to consider as automatic resignation the act of National Federations who declare to have joined another organization, and, most noteworthy, the change of the Election Congress to the Olympic year.



In accordance with the democratic FIVB decision-making process, all the Presidents of the FIVB Councils and Commissions will present proposals agreed by their members and the Board of Administration must discuss all of them before they are submitted to the World Congress for a final decision. The 31st FIVB World Congress will be held in Dubai on June 16-17, 2008.



Organisers of future competitions will make video presentations about FIVB events they are set to host, with a special focus on the Men’s and Women’s 2010 World Championships to be organised by Italy and Japan, respectively. The five Continental Confederations will also report on the growth of the sport and its new perspectives for 2009-2012.
