With this in mind, CEV President André Meyer visited last week – accompanied by CEV Vice President Jan Hronek – that country not only to praise the impressive efforts that have been made up to now, but also looking forward to the additional development of the sport in Baku and its surroundings.
Azerbaijan has embarked on ambitious plans whereby the country shall possibly turn into home to one of the FIVB regional development centers that are about to be established across Europe.
Mr. Meyer was pleased with the work so far delivered by the Azeri authorities and while being there announced that an additional evaluation and inspection of the facilities will follow in combination with the next meeting of the CEV Executive Committee slated for late March, by the time Baku will host the final four of the women’s Champions League.
