Volleyball in Spain: collaborative talks

pave the way for a bright future

March 14, 2025.- The future of volleyball in Spain is looking bright as key stakeholders from the FIVB and the Real Federación Española de Voleibol (RFEVB) came together to discuss exciting plans for the sport’s development in the region.

The Spanish delegation was represented by Felipe Pascual (President), Javer Garcia (Vice-President), and Luis Muchaga (Former Technical Director), who expressed their enthusiasm for collaborative efforts with the FIVB. 

The meeting covered a range of topics aimed at strengthening the growth and visibility of volleyball in Spain. Central to the discussions was the presentation of the RFEVB’s new strategic vision, as well as exciting plans to elevate the sport at both national and international levels. The FIVB delegation, led by President Fabio Azevedo, also outlined the FIVB Strategic Vision 2032, which is driven by the motto “Together as One.”

A key highlight was the review of the FIVB Volleyball Empowerment program’s impact in Spain. To date, the FIVB has invested CHF 324,000 across six projects, primarily focused on providing coach support to help develop the country’s national teams.  

Additionally, the two organizations discussed the many successful volleyball events in the region and explored plans for hosting future FIVB events in Spain. 

Spain’s national women’s team was another source of pride during the talks. The team recently secured their spot at the 2025 Women’s Volleyball World Championship in Thailand – an achievement that demonstrates the progress made in ensuring volleyball’s development across the country.
