The leadership of the FIVB and Qatar Olympic Committee (QOC) met yesterday at the FIVB Headquarters in Lausanne, Switzerland, to discuss opportunities for volleyball’s growth and development in Qatar.
His Excellency Secretary General Jassim bin Rashid Al-Buenain represented the QOC, while FIVB President Fabio Azevedo led discussions on behalf of the FIVB.
The meeting built on discussions held in December 2024 between the two organisations, further advancing the roadmap for volleyball activities in Qatar and the Middle East. It also further strengthened cooperation in line with the FIVB Strategic Vision 2032, which is founded on the key pillars of professionalism, integration, empowerment and mass participation, under the motto “Together as One”.
Qatar has a strong history in the sport, particularly beach volleyball. Qatar’s Cherif Younousse and Ahmed Tijan claimed bronze for Qatar at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020. Doha also hosts major international events, including the Beach Pro Tour Finals, and last year successfully staged the historic 2024 WAVA U20 Women’s Beach Volleyball Championship—the first-ever junior female beach volleyball tournament in the Middle East, supported by Olympic Solidarity.
