In the Ariake Arena, one of the most beautiful venues of the Games, the world\u2019s best women\u2019s and men\u2019s teams left it all out on court while hundreds of millions of fans worldwide watched safely from their homes. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">Meanwhile, in Shiokaze Park, the world\u2019s top beach volleyball players once again showcased why it is the most charming sport on the Olympic programme.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-73363\" src=\"https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/5-7-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/5-7-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/5-7-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/5-7-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/5-7-580x387.jpg 580w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/5-7-860x573.jpg 860w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/5-7-1160x773.jpg 1160w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/5-7-500x333.jpg 500w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/5-7-800x533.jpg 800w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/5-7-1280x853.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/5-7.jpg 1400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">To become an Olympic champion in volleyball and beach volleyball takes great skill, tactical execution, athleticism and talent. But it also takes perseverance and teamwork in abundance. Indeed, nothing can be achieved in our sport without teamwork, and this is exactly the mentality that the professional FIVB team adopts off the court.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">Over the past year, we continued to develop volleyball and beach volleyball by reinvesting the money that comes from the sport back into the sport through both targeted and application-based support. And this is a commitment we will never waver from.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">In particular, we launched our revolutionary Volleyball Empowerment programme, a year-round development programme where we support national teams, athletes and National Federations to achieve their goals and reach their full potential.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-73364\" src=\"https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/6-8-300x160.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"160\" srcset=\"https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/6-8-300x160.jpg 300w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/6-8-1024x545.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/6-8-768x409.jpg 768w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/6-8-580x309.jpg 580w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/6-8-860x458.jpg 860w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/6-8-1160x617.jpg 1160w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/6-8-500x266.jpg 500w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/6-8-800x426.jpg 800w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/6-8-1280x681.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/6-8.jpg 1400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">This development support across all corners of the globe would not have been possible without the strong financial foundation established by the FIVB\u2019s leadership, in addition to our groundbreaking partnership with CVC Capital Partners.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">Meanwhile, our sport\u2019s digital presence continued to grow at a tremendous rate during 2021.
