history
Prehistory to the foundation in 1947
The volleyball game came to Portugal through American soldiers who were stationed in the Azores Islands during World War I. The engineer António Cavaco from the Azores island of São Miguel brought the game to Lisbon while studying . After the complete volleyball set of rules had been published in Portugal for the first time shortly before, on December 28, 1938, the Associação de Voleibol de Lisboa was the first volleyball association in Portugal.
The first volleyball club was the Campolide Atlético Clube from the Lisbon municipality of Campolide , which was quickly followed by other clubs. Established sports clubs such as Belenenses Lisbon , Benfica Lisbon , and Sporting Lisbon also founded volleyball sections. The association from Lisbon organized the first volleyball tournament and the first championship in 1939/40, the winner was the Associação de Estudantes do Instituto Superior Técnico (AEIS Técnico), the sports club of the students of the Instituto Superior Técnico .
1942 founded a number of clubs in Porto, the local volleyball association Associação de Voleibol do Porto . On June 23, 1946, the two associations competed against each other for the first time, Lisbon won 2-0. In 1946/47 the first national championship was played, which again won the AEIS Técnico.
From 1947 to 1999
On April 7, 1947, the Federação Portuguesa de Voleibol was founded in Lisbon , and Guilherme Sousa Martins became its first president. A little later, the FPV was a founding member of the world volleyball association Fédération Internationale de Volleyball in Paris. At the first European volleyball championship in Rome in 1948, Portugal's selection reached fourth place, their best placement at the tournament to date.
The first national championship of women was played in 1959/60, the winner was SC Espinho . The responsible ministry of the Salazar dictatorship, however, began to complicate the work of the FPV. International participation by the national team, for example, was only possible again after the Carnation Revolution in 1974 and the end of the authoritarian Estado Novo regime. In 1979 the FPV organized the final round of the European Youth Championships. The national teams of men and women took part in the Spring Cup and were given the opportunity to compete internationally for the first time. From 1990 the FPV organized an international tournament in cooperation with the public television of the RTP . Further tournaments organized by the FPV were the third youth world championship in 1991 in Lisbon and Porto and the Spring Cup in 1995, which the Portuguese selection finished in third place (after a second place the year before).
In 1993 the FPV organized a national championship in beach volleyball for the first time, and in the pre-Olympic year 1995 the World Series of Beach Volley made two stops in Portugal. In 1996 the FPV hosted a tournament with the national teams from Canada, Bulgaria and Venezuela, in which Portugal came second. The tournament served as preparation for the 1996 Olympics . There the Portuguese male duo Luis Maia / João Brenha lost in the game for third place to the Canadian duo John Child / Mark Heese . Some of the most successful Olympians then took part in the Beach Volleyball Grand Slam tournament in Espinho, which drew the attention of the general public in Portugal to the sport. In 1998 the FPV also organized the IVth World Symposium on Volleyball-Specific Sports Medicine in Porto, in cooperation with the FIVB world association.
1999 was marked by special activity by the FPV. For example, she published her own quarterly magazine O Voleibol for the first time , and also started the electronic news service ProVolei Flash to increase coverage of volleyball in the Portuguese media. An interactive CD with rules and information for young volleyball Gira Volei she managed. In the same year the FPV organized the first volleyball congress and the first national volleyball tournament of the Community of Portuguese-speaking Countries (CPLP), one of the forerunners to the Jogos da Lusofonia , the sports competitions of the community. He was also accepted into the volleyball world league of the Portuguese national team in 1999.

The FPV selection could not qualify for the 2000 Olympics, but the beach volleyball duo Maia / Brenha, as in Atlanta in 1996, also finished fourth in 2000. The following national beach volleyball championship with eight venues brought the FPV more support from the media and municipalities, and numerous new sponsors, and as a result increased professionalism and public awareness.
