It is not easy for any federation to develop volleyball in the country. Many tasks have been operated, such as making popularity among people, developing volleyball teams from grass root to national level, etc. Recognising national team players, from the past to present, will be one key factor to make former and current players proud.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I am glad that Sri Lanka Volleyball Federation has recognised the importance of their players. I do hope that the activities will stimulate more young generation to be interested, and to participate in volleyball in the near future. I wish all success to Sri Lanka Volleyball Federation.&#8221;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"s1\">Cuban Ambassador of Sri Lanka Andrew Marcelo Gonzalez, President of Sri Lanka Volleyball Federation Kanchana Jayaratne and Secretary of Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports Namal Rajapaksa jointly presided over the book launch event at the Sri Lanka Volleyball Convention.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-71165\" src=\"https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/258334815_196531399306952_7405636582252195518_n-300x199.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"199\" srcset=\"https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/258334815_196531399306952_7405636582252195518_n-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/258334815_196531399306952_7405636582252195518_n-768x510.jpg 768w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/258334815_196531399306952_7405636582252195518_n-580x385.jpg 580w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/258334815_196531399306952_7405636582252195518_n-860x572.jpg 860w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/258334815_196531399306952_7405636582252195518_n-500x332.jpg 500w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/258334815_196531399306952_7405636582252195518_n-800x532.jpg 800w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/258334815_196531399306952_7405636582252195518_n.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-71169\" src=\"https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/258542339_196531249306967_3518994955386279023_n-300x189.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"189\" srcset=\"https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/258542339_196531249306967_3518994955386279023_n-300x189.jpg 300w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/258542339_196531249306967_3518994955386279023_n-768x484.jpg 768w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/258542339_196531249306967_3518994955386279023_n-580x366.jpg 580w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/258542339_196531249306967_3518994955386279023_n-860x542.jpg 860w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/258542339_196531249306967_3518994955386279023_n-500x315.jpg 500w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/258542339_196531249306967_3518994955386279023_n-800x504.jpg 800w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/258542339_196531249306967_3518994955386279023_n.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">SLVF Secretary General A.
