However, the scheduled second game, KB Insurance and Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance, was suddenly postponed to 11 a.m. on the 14th, the next day. KOVO said the previous day that the International Volleyball Federation (FIVB) recommended suspending the men's game the day before the game, and KOVO once again requested permission to host it, and the Asian Volleyball Federation also requested to host it, but decided not to play the second game because it did not receive an answer. And if it was not approved by midnight on the 13th, it was decided to cancel the men's competition.
And after midnight, in a press release "We have been in constant communication with the International Volleyball Federation (FIVB) about the approval of the men's cup tournament, but we have not received a final answer to the event. Therefore, the federation decided to cancel the men's team of the cup competition altogether. The federation will do its best to prevent this from happening again through continuous communication with FIVB, and I would like to express my sincere apology once again for the inconvenience caused to volleyball fans, Yeosu citizens, club officials, athletes, Yeosu City and sponsors who have been interested in this competition" he said.
Fortunately, it was later conditionally approved by FIVB, allowing it to be reopened. On the 14th, Korean Air-Woori Card will be held at 1:30 p.m. and Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance-KB Insurance at 4 p.m.
