AFRICA HONORS ACOSTA
In the name of African Volleyball Confederation and all National Federation, CAVB President Dr. Amr Elwani remitted a decoration (Necklace) to FIVB President Dr. Ruben Acosta during the 29th FIVB World Congress in Porto, Portugal to congratulate him for the great achievements he did to the sport and particularly his permanent support to Africa and in honor of his twenty years at the helm of the world wide volleyball federation .
CAVB surprised the Congress by being the first Confederation to do so. Dr. Elwani Declared Solemnly " The best person to receive this first-of -its-kind honor could be non other than President Acosta. It's a symbol of the great job he has done and his huge contribution to volleyball and I'm proud to have the honor of presenting this decoration to President Acosta". Dr. Elwani presented the decoration in the company of two African members of the Board of Adminstration , Mr. Habu Gumel from Nigeria and Mr. Abdelhadi Ghazali from Morocco as well as Mr. Charles Panou, CAVB Executive Director.
The African Surprise was appreciated by all the delegations specially because it had been kept as a secret till Dr. Elwani made the announcement spontaneously.
