FIVB and Volleyball World update on COVID-19 protocols at VNL 2022

Due to exceptional medical circumstances related to COVID-19 which have prevented eight members of the Thailand women's national volleyball team from being able to participate in Week 2 of the Volleyball Nations League (VNL) in the Philippines, the FIVB and Volleyball World have allowed the team to register extra players as part of a special replacement procedure.

The special replacement procedure was agreed by the remaining seven participating teams in Pool 4 of the VNL which is currently taking place from 14 to 19 June in the Philippines. In addition, all teams participating in the VNL 2022 have been informed that the FIVB/Volleyball World will allow for exceptional medical replacements related to COVID-19.

As always, the FIVB’s primary concern is protecting the health and wellbeing of our athletes, officials and fans, and there will be no compromise in this regard.
