“Volleyball” suspended between the federation and the Ministry of Sports / some important events on the air – Mehr news agency Iran and world’s news
According to Mehr’s reporter, nearly 10 days have passed since the end of the four-year refereeing period of Mohammad Reza in the Volleyball Federation, and the task of the federation is still not clear. Before the end of the term of refereeing, the volleyball federation announced the date of the extraordinary assembly for the election of the supervisor, but this issue was immediately denied by the Ministry of Sports and Youth, and Mohammad Poladgar announced that they did not issue a date for holding the extraordinary assembly of the volleyball federation, thus this The assembly was canceled by the federation and the election of the supervisor remained undecided.
Determining the task of the federation is more obligatory than night bread
Iran’s national volleyball team has a very difficult task ahead of it to qualify for the Olympics, the poor performance of Iran’s top players has made it impossible to qualify for the Olympics, and the only chance for Iran to become an Olympian is in the 2024 Volleyball League of Nations. This is despite the fact that there are only 6 months left until the start of the League of Nations and many teams in the world are looking for plans for their preparatory games in this period until the end of the year, but the volleyball federation has not only closed the file of negotiations with foreign coaches but also It is not clear who is the head of the federation to follow up the negotiations. Meanwhile, these days, choosing the head coach of the national team and planning for preparatory games is more obligatory than the bread of the night for the national volleyball team, and without doing it, we have to put a restriction on the conclusion of next year’s competitions.
What happened to foreign coaches?
Considering the poor performance of the national team in the Olympic selection, the president of the federation entered into negotiations with several foreign coaches before the end of his four-year term. Beligini, Heinen, Piazza, NowPeyman Akbari and Saeed Maarouf were among the options that the federation asked for a program and entered into negotiations.
But with the end of the four-year arbitration period, the negotiation file with foreign coaches was temporarily closed so that the task of the volleyball federation would be determined first. Of course, the most serious option from the volleyball federationJohn Lorenzo BalanginiIt was that these days the news of signing a contract with the Bulgarian national team is heard from all corners.
Apparently, the coach’s contract is for 3 + 2 years until the end of the 2028 Olympics, and the Bulgarian Federation is not going to pay a fine of 100,000 euros to the Italian Federation because he will no longer be a club coach from next year. It was natural that due to the procrastination of the Ministry of Sports and the indecision of the Volleyball Federation, one of the good options to lead the national team was lost.
TheVolleyball in the swamp of uncertainty
At present, the referee is no longer the head of the volleyball federation, although he has been coming to the federation for a few days, but he does not have the right to sign, and the federation is practically run without a head and supervisor. Now, with these conditions, the Ministry of Sports and Youth does not specify the task of the federation, and it is not clear what future awaits the Iranian volleyball team under these conditions. The Ministry of Sports has three options for the state of the federation, or the supervisor chooses; or permission to hold the above assembly wonderful and the arbitrator himself has the legal permission to continue his activity as a supervisor. But the interesting thing is that the Ministry of Sports does not do any of these three things and this procrastination of the Ministry is also strange. If the Ministry of Home Affairs is against appointing a supervisor by the members of the assembly, why does it not choose a supervisor for this federation? Or if he agrees with the selection of the supervisor by the members of the assembly, why does he not issue its permission?
The vicious cycle of the Ministry of Sports to determine the task of federations
The procrastination of the Ministry of Sports to determine the task of sports federations is not only specific to Iranian volleyball, and there are several federations that have a similar situation and are in a state of uncertainty, but the situation of volleyball is different from other sports. Currently, the volleyball federation has neither a supervisor nor a president! The most important thing is that choosing the head coach of the national team and advancing to the Olympics are two important categories for Iranian volleyball, and if the role of the head of the federation is not determined, these two important issues will be neglected. With the current conditions of Iranian volleyball, it seems very unlikely to advance to the Olympics, and if these conditions continue and the Ministry of Sports does not take care of the situation of the volleyball federation as soon as possible, it should be completely barred from participating in the Olympics.
