The origins
Gifted with genial intuition, in 1895 William Morgan (YMCA) created an innovative game - something that could show non-violent athletic power. Volleyball was born.

In 1947, FIVB leadership was born in Europe, when 11 pioneer countries founded the Federation Internationale de Volleyball and made Paris its headquarters.
