WVBF new headquarters in Vevey

After the huge success of its Beach Volleyball world championships on the mythical
Market Square last summer, The World Volleyball and Beach volleyball Federation
(WVBF in the text), the only world volleyball institution which respects and fully
implements the Ethical principles of the International Olympic Committee (IOC):
democratic elections with secret ballots, financial transparency and development,
continues its collaboration with the city of Vevey by moving its headquarters to the
« Rue de Lausanne » in Vevey.
(Vevey, The 22th of October 2009) In August, the WVBF Beach Volleyball World
Championship Protour presented by Cornèrcard took place on Vevey’s Market
Square, the largest open square in Europe. 7 women's teams and 8 men's teams
from all over the world struggled during four days under the sun, facing the lake and
in front of thousands of spectators. This event was a real success both for WVBF, for
the Vevey sports department (chaired by Jean–Marc Bryois) and for the municipality.
Today, Vevey’s authorities confirm their support for the 2010 WVBF Protour leg and
are proud to host the WVBF new headquarters, based in the « Rue de Lausanne
17».
WVBF President Jean Pierre Seppey states " I am really impressed by the
enthusiasm for beach volleyball shown by the people of Vevey. Our sport is primarily
based on development within a total respect of all Olympic codes and ethical values.
The WVBF, which currently counts more than 80 national associations around the
world, enjoys welcoming in Vevey colleagues and members from the five continents".
