The Confédération Africaine de Volleyball (CAVB) is the African umbrella organization for volleyball . The head office of the association is in Cairo ( Egypt ).

profile

The CAVB was officially formed as the last continental association when the FIVB converted its five volleyball zone commissions into continental associations in 1972. The African Commission was founded in 1967. Although the Egyptian Federation helped found the FIVB in 1947, volleyball is still mainly played by amateurs in Africa, even in countries like South Africa or Egypt that have already participated in the Olympic Games . In recent years, the world association has taken measures to increase the level of performance on the continent. The current president of the CAVB is the Egyptian Amr El Wani .

The CAVB is superordinate to the individual national associations and organizes continental competitions such as the African Championship (for the first time in 1967). The association is also involved in the organization of qualifying tournaments for the Olympic Games and World Championships, as well as in international competitions organized by member associations.
