Venezuelan VF claimed that Venezuela Women’s NT secured quota for the World Grand Prix by defeating Peru 3-1 at the 2016 Pan American Cup in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, in the match for 7-10th place. Venezuela NT finished eighth at the tournament. Thus, Venezuelan VF emphasized that Women’s NT had to be placed in Group 3 at the draw for the World Grand Prix.
Because it did not receive any explanation from the FIVB on this matter, Venezuelan VF issued a statement and sent a letter of protest to the FIVB.
This is the second case when the FIVB did not explain why it excluded some national team from participating in a tournament in 2017. First case was in relation to both Men’s and Women’s Cuba national teams.
