This year’s Congress is not elective but nevertheless stands out as the real highlight of the CEV institutional life, helping find a consensus about the actions to be implemented and strengthen the cooperation between the CEV and its members.
As most of the representatives in attendance have already found their way to Luxembourg, an official dinner is offered on Thursday night by one of the CEV major partners and suppliers, Mikasa Co. Ltd., whose cooperation with the European Volleyball Confederation was prolonged last year – in combination with the XXXII CEV General Assembly in Vienna – also for the quadrennial leading up to the 2016 Rio Olympics. Mikasa and the CEV are daily working together to make sure that all competitions are played at the highest level and the attendance of Mikasa representatives at the CEV General Assembly testifies once more the synergy and fruitful cooperation these parties have been able to develop in the past years.
