NOTAS: CEV postpones all events until further notice |
|
|
|
Since the CEV announced their decision to postpone all events until April 3, we have witnessed an escalation of the coronavirus pandemic across Europe, |
|
resulting in a number of governments calling a state of emergency and National Federations stopping their respective leagues. The FIVB have confirmed changes |
|
to their calendar, postponing the Volleyball Nations League until after the Tokyo 2020 Olympics. Following the latest developments, the members of the CEV Board |
|
of Administration have agreed to postpone all CEV events until further notice. This decision applies to the following competitions: |
|
|
|
• European Cups (i.e. Champions League, CEV Cup and Challenge Cup) scheduled to take place until mid-May 2020
|
|
• Under-age Volleyball qualifiers scheduled for late April and early May 2020 across four age groups (U17 Women, U18 Men, U19 Women, U20 Men)
|
|
• CEV Beach Volleyball Continental Cup Phase 2 scheduled for the week 12 to 17 May 2020
|
|
• CEV Volleyball European Golden and Silver League 2020 |
|
|
|
As for the 2020 Snow Volleyball season, the CEV confirms the cancellation of all remaining events – i.e. European Tour stops due to take place in Wagrain |
|
and Plan de Corones / Kronplatz as well as of CEV EuroSnowVolley in St. Anton am Arlberg. |
|
|
|
“This has been a hard and painful decision, which we have taken it with the health and safety of our players, officials and fans in mind. However, considering the overall |
|
situation across Europe and aiming to provide clear guidance and to allow reasonable planning for all stakeholders, we had to make this decision now. |
|
We will further monitor the situation and work together with all of our stakeholders in order to find mutual solutions depending on the further development |
|
of the crisis,” says CEV President Aleksandar Boričić. |
|
|
|
Further to the decisions taken by the Luxembourgish and Serbian governments, the CEV will apply a teleworking system for their staff and remain operational at all levels. |
|
As communication is crucial in these difficult times, the CEV staff will remain available under the regular phone numbers and email addresses. |
|
|
|
“Staying united, keeping an open communication and continuously working with positive energy for the good of our beloved sport, I am confident that we will manage |
|
all together to overcome this crisis. We thank you for your understanding and we sincerely wish you and your families to stay healthy and safe,” the CEV President |
|
concluded in his address to all members of the European Volleyball family and all Volleyball lovers. |
