We want to reward Europe’s top players and teams for their efforts and also for their help in further growing the game. Today’s champions represent the role model to look up to for our stars in the making and they play a major role in inspiring hundreds, possibly thousands of youngsters across Europe to start playing volleyball and discover the unique spirit of our sport. I look forward to two unforgettable volleyball parties to unfold across all venues of this year’s EuroVolley and wish the best of success to all participating teams.” says (former) CEV President Andre Meyer.
