The Euro-Asia Coaches Cooperation project will be benefiting from funding through the Mobility and Exchange in Sport Fund from the European Commission.

The project involves the CEV and their Asian counterpart, i.e. the Bangkok-based Asian Volleyball Confederation (AVC), as well as the National Federations of Hungary and Slovenia. It is the second time a project designed by the CEV becomes eligible for EU funding, after a similar experience with the ongoing and highly successful CEV School Project ‘Play Volleyball, Grow with it’.

CEV and AVC have each organized a training programme in 2022 for a select number of coaches from Europe and Asia (one week combined programme in Asia). The CEV alone received 27 applications, each representing a different National Federation. The two nominated experts from CEV and AVC will conduct the programme together hosting the 7 selected coaches (4 from CEV/3 from AVC), and their supportive team members to assist with the project operations.
