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

In 1947, the FIVB leadership was born in Europe, when 14 pioneer countries founded the Fédération Internationale de Volleyball and made Paris its headquarters.
