The FIVB and Volleyball World delegation recently concluded its inspection visits to all 10 host cities of the FIVB Volleyball Men’s World Championship 2022 where significant progress has been made in preparation to host a world-class event.
The inspection was focused on the venues and hotels for the World Championship, which Russia was selected to host in 2018, and all ten cities were divided across three visits. The first of which was a visit to Moscow, St Petersburg, Yaroslavl and Kaliningrad by a delegation led by FIVB General Director Fabio Azevedo. Following this, FIVB Head of Technical and Development Steve Tutton led two separate visits, first to Novosibirsk, Krasnoyarsk and Kemerovo, and then to Yekaterinburg, Ufa and Kazan.

FIVB General Director Fabio Azevedo said:
“It was a pleasure to visit the various host cities which all have a strong volleyball tradition. These inspection visits are critical to ensuring that we can provide accurate and useful feedback to every single host city. Based on what we have seen, it is evident that each host city is progressing very well with its preparations and I have no doubt that by following our feedback next year’s event will be the best in the history of our sport.”
The delegation met the President of the Republic of Tatarstan Rustam Minnikhanov
FIVB Head of Technical and Development Steve Tutton said:
“We have been impressed with the overall level of the preparations of the cities and their commitment to hosting a world-class event next year. The FIVB will now work on finalising the reports for each host city, together with our recommendations on what needs to be improved to ensure a fantastic event. All the cities have confirmed that the necessary changes will be implemented in time for the event. As such, in the coming months, the FIVB will be able to confirm all the venues and hotels that will be hosting our event.”
FIVB and Volleyball World teams also conducted a hybrid inspection visit to the cities of the Ural region
