Larong Volleyball sa Pilipinas Inc. (LVPI) president Joey Romasanta is writing to the International Volleyball Federation (FIVB) to seek clarification on the status of their association.
The move came after the FIVB, in a letter signed by General Director Fabio Azevedo, requested the Philippine Olympic Committee (POC) to organize an election to the country’s volleyball governing body before the World Congress next month.
“We want to know if this (election request) in effect withdraws the recognition of the LVPI from the FIVB,” Romasanta said.
The FIVB has given provisional recognition to LVPI since 2015 after complying with their conditions and requirements that include payments amounting to $80,000 incurred by its predecessor, the Philippine Volleyball Federation.
