Mohammad Reza Davarzani, head of the volleyball federation, said: I hope that in the working environment, we will be more prepared to meet the wishes of the people and the expectations of the volleyball community and win the Olympic quota for the third time.
He added: The events that have happened in the last two decades are the result of the efforts of all of you, and all my words were in the video report that was broadcast at the beginning of the meeting. I hope that we will pass the rest of the year 1402, which has been 6 difficult months, well.
The referee noted: 1401 was a very busy year. These 6 months of 1402 were also difficult in terms of the results in the basic categories and people’s expectations in the Asian Championship, and we must try to overcome the challenge we have in Asia well.
The head of the volleyball federation continued: Iran’s volleyball must always be in the Olympics and this is not possible without the efforts of all the elements of volleyball. We all must try to successfully overcome the challenge we have in Asia and play good games in the 2024 Olympic qualifiers and League of Nations in order to maintain our position in the world ranking.
