Dr. Saleh A. Bin Nasser, highly esteemed also in national and international football circles (he is a member of the FIFA Protocol and Confederation Cup Commission, and holds many important position in Saudi Arabian Football Federation), managed to take Volleyball to second place among sports played in Saudi Arabia.

With the help of foreign coaches, Saudi Volleyball progressed like never before.
