Kooy
The Dutch receiver/outside hitter, who applied for Italian citizenship, officially got it, one month ago. But, the entire procedure of changing sports nationality had to be confirmed by the International Volleyball Federation (FIVB).
FIVB has finally approved it, as Kooy stated for our website. Thus, in case he decides to play in Italy again, he will perform as a domestic player.
“I made the request to change federation of origin. The request has been approved. Next season I will be an Italian player. The request has been approved during the last FIVB board meeting on April 6-7,” the Dutch player from Halkbank Ankara said.
Kooy gave up on the Dutch National Team, which was his decision that preceded applying for Italian citizenship.
