Gernot Leitner has been unanimously re-elected President of the Austrian Volleyball Federation (ÖVV) for the next two years following the organisation’s General Assembly held on Friday afternoon in Amstetten.

“It is of course an honour to be unanimously re-elected - now for the fifth time. We have worked well, are financially stable, successful in sports, but of course there is always more to be done. I am looking forward to the next two years and I am confident that we will set further milestones!”
