The men's volleyball tournament in Yeosu and NH Nonghyup Cup is on the verge of being canceled.

The International Volleyball Federation (FIVB) recommended suspending the men's game of this tournament the day before it was held.

The Korea Volleyball Federation (KOVO) has once again sent permission to host the Cup and is trying to hold it through the Asian Volleyball Federation, but no additional answer has been received from FIVB yet.




KOVO held the Hyundai Capital-OK Savings Bank match, the opening game on the 13th, but decided not to hold the second game, KB Insurance-Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance, until 11 a.m. on the 14th.

And if the FIVB does not approve it by midnight on the 13th, it has decided to cancel the men's competition.

FIVB has put the brakes on the tournament taking place at the time the world championships are taking place. First of all, with the participation of foreign players, both Hyundai Capital and OK Savings Bank played only as domestic players without foreign players and Asian quarter players. However, this is the first time that the competition itself has been banned beyond the ban on foreign players. The women's division, which will be held from the 21st, will be held normally.




KOVO said "The federation caused a stir due to the difference in perspective with FIVB and apologizes to club officials and athletes, Yeosu city officials and various sponsors, as well as to volleyball fans including Yeosu citizens. In the future, we will communicate closely with FIVB and do our best to prevent this from happening" he stated his position.

If the KB Insurance-Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance match, which was postponed after being allowed to hold the competition, is held on the 14th, it will be held free of charge.

A KOVO official stressed that this tournament is not a league, but a tournament that has always been played, and that it is an exhibition game ahead of the season, but there is no answer from FIVB yet. "In the name of the president of the Asian Volleyball Federation, he sent a letter to hold this tournament." The president of the Asian Volleyball Federation also said he would help hold the opening. The consultation will continue until midnight today" he said.
