Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso, March 23, 2009- CAVB President Dr.
Amr Elwani inspected the new Sports Hall in the Sports Complex
“Palais Des Sports” at Burkina capital of Ouagadougou during his
visit to attend Zone III meeting. He was accompanied by the
delegations of the countries of the zone where he expressed his
happiness to see such good hall which is the first in the
country and declared his support to Burkina to host one of the
big African events in the opening of this hall. Elwani enhanced
the other zonal countries to start their hard working to reach
the top at both zonal and continental levels.
The President of the country Compaore Blaise promised to
organize this competition under his name and to attend the
opening ceremony of the hall during his reception with the CAVB
President in his Palace two days before.
“The new hall capacity is more than 4000 spectators and has a
good VIP area and marvelous look than can allow Burkina to host
international events comfortably,” Said Elwani while he was
visiting the hall. “I think we can start with the African
competitions but I’m usually optimistic that Burkina can do more
with these facilities.”
Elwani went afterwards to the Burkina Ministry of Sports where
he met the secretary general of the Minister Mr. Sibiri Sanou as
the Minister was in a mission in Algeria and enhanced the
Ministry of sports to support the participation of some
officials from Burkina with only the air tickets to attend the
Management courses to start at the CAVB headquarters next month.
Elwani informed him the CAVB will afford all the other expenses
of the course attendance including the participation fees and
the full board accommodation during the course.
