“Each event is an important step in the development of these athletes’ careers, on the way to ultimately representing their nation at the biggest events on the planet.
“Not only do these age-group events provide young athletes with opportunities to experience international competition, but it is also a chance for new and developing volleyball nations to host major FIVB events and grow the sport around the world.”
