For the first time in history, 130 countries with all five continents involved cover the Women’s EuroVolley 2013.
Although Philippe Blatter, nephew of FIFA President Sepp Blatter, might have a traditional affectation for soccer, Blatter admitted his love for volleyball and the beauty of our sport. Blatter said:
“The CEV-Infront partnership is among the most long-standing in the industry and Volleyball a core pillar of our summer sports portfolio. We are proud and delighted that we earned the trust and respect of the CEV to strengthen this successful partnership. Together, we will continue to deliver top quality and excellence for the good of European Volleyball, its commercial partners and fans.”
