MEVZA General Assembly held in Cyprus

The 21st General Assembly of the Middle European Volleyball Zonal Association (MEVZA) was held on Saturday, December 9, at the Hilton Hotel in Nicosia with representatives from all nine member countries (Austria, Croatia, Czechia, Hungary, Israel, Luxembourg, Slovakia, Slovenia plus Cyprus) in attendance. 

All items on the agenda were thoroughly discussed, with a focus on Volleyball and Beach Volleyball competitions organised earlier this year and planned for 2024 and on the financial report. The hosting Cyprus Volleyball Association was represented by their second Vice-President, Mr Franklinos Andreou, who deserved a warm welcome to Cyprus to all colleagues and friends. 

When it comes to actions for the near future, MEVZA has already devised plans for the organisation of an under-age league open to clubs from across the Zonal Association. 

Earlier in the morning of Saturday, all the attendees visited the so-called Imprisoned Graves, a place of major relevance for Cyprus history, as well as the Ledra Palace as part of the programme arranged for the visitors. Moreover, the Cyprus Volleyball Association arranged a dinner and a meeting joined by their President, Dr Costas Constantinou, as well. 

MEVZA President Valentina Bifflin expressed her satisfaction with the work of the 21st General Assembly. She expressed her gratitude to the Cyprus Volleyball Association for the excellent organisation of the General Assembly and for the exquisite hospitality that all delegates experienced during their stay in Cyprus.
