Today at a press conference in Los Angeles, California, Doug Beal announced his candidacy for the FIVB presidency. The next elective FIVB Congress is scheduled for September 2012.
This will be a historic moment for volleyball as it begins a new Olympic cycle under new leadership.
As the sport with the greatest potential for growth and expansion of any Olympic sport, the International Volleyball Federation (FIVB) deserves a leader with a track record of successful achievements to ensure this potential is reached. This is Doug Beal.
"Doug Beal listens to those around him and makes strategic decisions for the good of the game. He is the face of a new generation and I have no doubt that he will lead volleyball in a democratic and transparent way." said Karch Kiraly, Three-time Olympic gold medallist.
