Volleyball World and Senoh have announced the renewal of their long-standing partnership through the current Olympic cycle, continuing a collaboration that combines support for volleyball at the highest level with investment in the development of the sport worldwide.
Alongside continuing as the official supplier of professional-standard volleyball nets for Volleyball World’s top-tier events, including the FIVB Volleyball World Cup, FIVB Beach Volleyball World Championships and Volleyball Nations League (VNL), Senoh will continue to support National Federations through the FIVB Volleyball Empowerment programme, helping expand access to high-quality equipment and support the development of the sport globally.
The partnership has already delivered significant impact through Volleyball Empowerment, supporting 49 equipment projects across 43 National Federations. The initiative now reaches every continental Confederation, strengthening both volleyball and beach volleyball programmes and bringing professional equipment to a growing number of National Federations around the world.
By improving access to professional-standard equipment and infrastructure, the programme is helping National Federations strengthen the environments in which players train and compete, raise the standard of national and international events, and create more opportunities for people to participate in volleyball.
This investment is also helping National Federations create stronger development pathways for athletes, giving more nations the foundations to build competitive national teams capable of performing at a higher level internationally.
Across the programme’s growing global footprint, recent projects highlight the different ways Senoh’s support is helping National Federations strengthen the sport. In Cape Verde, high-quality beach volleyball equipment is supporting ambitions to stage professional competition while developing the discipline long term. In Hungary, upgraded court equipment will help elevate national and international events, while in Chile, new competition equipment is supporting the delivery of tournaments to international standards.
The renewed agreement reflects the shared commitment of Volleyball World and Senoh to supporting the sustainable growth of volleyball worldwide, from National Federation development and infrastructure through to the highest levels of international competition.
Volleyball World Chief Partnerships Officer Oliver Clarke said:
“The strongest partnerships create value far beyond a single event, and our relationship with Senoh is a great example of that. Together, we are supporting volleyball on the world’s biggest stages while investing in the infrastructure that allows the sport to grow around the world.
“Senoh has been a committed partner in that journey, bringing its expertise and professional-standard equipment to our global competitions and to National Federations through Volleyball Empowerment. We’re delighted to continue the partnership through the next Olympic cycle and build on what we have achieved together.”
Senoh President Shinya Koyama said:
" We are honoured to continue our partnership with Volleyball World.
Together with Volleyball World, Senoh has supported world-class competition environments at the highest levels of international volleyball and contributed to the growth of the sport worldwide.
We commit to provide safe, reliable, and high-quality equipment to grow and develop volleyball globally. Through this partnership, we will deliver even greater value to athletes, organizers, and fans around the world."
