The Volleyball Association positively accepted the proposal of the Volleyball Federation... One voice calls for the revival of Korean volleyball
The Korea Volleyball Federation and the Korea Volleyball Association, which clearly realized the current state of Korean men's and women's volleyball, which had fallen to the margins with the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games, 카지노 decided to discuss the appointment of national team coaches and player selection together in the future.
The Volleyball Federation, which oversees the professional league, and the Volleyball Association, an organization that hosts amateur competitions and represents Korea on the international stage, have joined hands to revive Korean volleyball.
According to the volleyball world on the 16th, the Volleyball Federation met with high-ranking officials of the association in July to discuss plans for managing the national team.
When the Volleyball Federation's board of directors, comprised of 14 professional league general managers, recently expressed concern over the poor performance of the men's and women's volleyball teams, the federation discussed this issue in earnest with its partner association.
The federation, which has only provided subsidies for the management of the national team and left all matters to the association, expressed its wish to have an equal voice with the association in selecting coaches and players when forming a new national team.
Accordingly, a high-ranking official from the federation explained that the association, which exercised its own authority in forming and operating the national team, largely accepted the federation's proposal.
Since all of the male and female national team players are professional players outside the influence of the association, this can be interpreted as a sign that they will positively accept the offer from the Volleyball Federation and professional clubs.
In particular, in the face of the harsh reality that Korean men's and women's volleyball was pushed to the 5th or 6th place in Asia as revealed at the Hangzhou Asian Games, the opinion is convincing that if the popularity of professional leagues and Korean volleyball's performance in international competitions are to increase simultaneously, one side should not monopolize the management of the national team.
How professional volleyball, including the Volleyball Federation, will be involved in the selection of national team coaches and players is expected to be revealed in the blueprint to be announced by the Volleyball Association in the future.
The Volleyball Association announced a reform plan based on parting ways with men's national team coach Lim Do-heon and women's national team coach Cesar González immediately after the Hangzhou Asian Games.
Choi Cheon-sik, chairman of the men's performance improvement committee, and Kim Cheol-yong, chairman of the women's performance improvement committee, also resigned, taking responsibility for poor performance.
The Volleyball Association promised to establish and implement a mid- to long-term development plan to help Korean volleyball be reborn through drastic reform in order to participate in the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics and the 2032 Brisbane Olympics.
Several volleyball players, including Kim Ho-cheol, coach of women's professional volleyball IBK Industrial Bank of Korea, said that Korean volleyball is difficult in its current state and emphasized that it is time to pull together.
