The FIVB structure
As FIVB's basic platform and comprising all affiliated National Federations, the World Congress is the supreme authority. Convened every two years, the Congress elects the President and members of the Board.

The Board of Administration is responsible for the overall management of the FIVB, overseeing the work of the National Federations, Confederations, Commissions and Councils and appoints Officials including members of the Executive Committee.

The Executive Committee is composed of Board members and each member is charged with important and specific responsibilities.

The FIVB President is personally accountable before the Congress and the Board of Administration whose decisions he is responsible for executing and is supported by the General Manager and the Executive Committee members.

The General Manager is accountable for the ongoing management and administration of the FIVB Secretariat which implements Board and Congress decisions and ensures the respect of the Constitution, Regulations and FIVB decisions.

National Federations are responsible for Volleyball in their respective countries whilst Continental Confederations, Councils and Commissions are supporting institutions of FIVB actions in their area and are accountable before the FIVB for the fulfilment of their duties in accordance with FIVB regulations and decisions.

FIVB Technical Officials represent the FIVB world wide in its global operations. They supervise and participate in the organisation of events, ensuring that event organisers deliver world class conditions to sponsors and participants.
