July 7, 2025, marked more than just a day for volleyball; it symbolized the birth of a global movement.
This inaugural World Volleyball Day successfully united athletes, enthusiasts, coaches, national federations, clubs, and all involved parties in a heartfelt, worldwide homage to the sport.
From early morning beach matches to evening games in indoor arenas, volleyball served as a powerful unifier. Digital platforms were flooded with vibrant videos of communities engaging in play and heartfelt messages about the sport`s profound impact.
Participation figures were truly exceptional:
The essence of volleyball embodies core values such as collaboration, inclusivity, peace, and solidarity. This dedicated day now perfectly reflects these principles.
A profound thank you goes out to everyone who contributed to the success of this day – whether by organizing events, sharing content online, participating in a game, coaching a team, volunteering their time, or simply cheering from the stands.
You have collectively forged a historic moment. This, however, is merely the genesis!
Further details regarding the 2026 World Volleyball Day celebrations will be announced shortly.
