Bangkok, Thailand, September 23, 2022 – The 24th AVC General Assembly came to a fruitful close on Thursday in Arnhem, Netherlands as AVC President Mrs Rita Subowo highlighted importance of solidarity, unity and collaboration to ensure a bright future of the sport in Asia.
AVC President Mrs Subowo presided over the one-day assembly, attended by 70 delegates from 65 affiliated federations and which involved a mixture of in-person and remote attendees on Zoom. FIVB President Dr Ary S. Graca and FIVB General Director Mr Fabio Azevedo also turned out to deliver inspirational speeches.
The meeting was held ahead of the FIVB World Congress set to be held there from September 23 to 25 and the FIVB Volleyball Women’s World Championship, co-hosted by the Netherlands and Poland, due to get underway at the GelreDome in Arnhem.
In her welcome speech, Mrs Subowo said, “Welcome to this beautiful place in Netherlands. I’m so happy to see all of you happy and very healthy again after many years we have not seen each other due to COVID-19 pandemic. The legacy of the sport is friendship and friendship is forever. We are AVC and we have our own way to be able to get together.
“During the FIVB Board Meeting yesterday, President Ary Graca told us that the Confederation Report should have more future plans and projects, not in the past. So, we need to be more united with all Asian solidarity and Oceania as well that we can do it together for the future of our sport. We need each other. We need to be united. Hopefully, the Pandemic will be improving and okay for us next year and no accuses for us not to be able to see each other again during the competitions or meeting and with the help of FIVB, and AVC Headquarters in Bangkok. They work very hard to help accommodate issues, something that has to be solved. I would like to thank all for your solidarity, have a nice stay here and hopefully the COVID-19 pandemic will get better and we can continue our work together for our sport with our own capacity and the help of FIVB and our hard work at the Headquarters”
