Venezuelan Volleyball Federation was very surprised when it did not see the name of its Women’s national team on the list of participants for the 2017 FIVB World Grand Prix and sent the note of protest to the International Volleyball Federation (FIVB), requesting clarification.

Venezuelan VF claimed that Venezuela Women’s NT secured quota for the World Grand Prix by defeating Peru 3-1 at the 2016 Pan American Cup in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, in the match for 7-10th place. Venezuela NT finished eighth at the tournament. Thus, Venezuelan VF emphasized that Women’s NT had to be placed in Group 3 at the draw for the World Grand Prix.

Because it did not receive any explanation from the FIVB on this matter, Venezuelan VF issued a statement and sent a letter of protest to the FIVB.

This is the second case when the FIVB did not explain why it excluded some national team from participating in a tournament in 2017. First case was in relation to both Men’s and Women’s Cuba national teams.
