The Namibia Volleyball Federation has concluded its Annual General Meeting in Rundu.
The meeting brought together the executive committee, association chairpersons, directors, and invited guests to review the federation's progress and discuss its future direction.
Namibia Volleyball Federation President Tobias Mwatelulo said the AGM focused on strengthening the federation's governance by reviewing key constitutional documents and setting a strategic direction for volleyball in Namibia.
“ And then the main focus now is also to amend constitution documents such as the constitution, your sport recreation, your different cups, as well as the subsidiary documents that you add upon. And then what we also do is we also have certain motions that need to be tabled by the board to decide what the way forward is, so literally on here is just to see what the vision is, what the aim is we need to do forward, and what we can improve. It's an executive meeting that focuses more on the leadership of the federations and on non-administrative matters. Administrative matters are what we deal with in our board meetings on a day-to-day basis.”
Mwatelulo said delegates also reflected on the federation's achievements over the past season while identifying priorities and possible rule changes to develop the sport further.
“ So far, the few hours we were doing, we were just discussing what has happened and obviously the report of the regional activities that they did as well as this current year because it's actually on current to 2026 to 2027. So far, what has been happening, we could see that the chairpersons and the directors, as well as the executive, put in certain efforts and are moving into what I am interested in. Now, what I am interested in is to see what we are going to do for the next step forward, what strategies we can strategise, and which rules we are going to change. “
Kavango Volleyball Association Chairperson Anna-Rosa Mupiri said the congress provided a platform for regional associations to exchange ideas, learn from one another, and adopt practices that will strengthen volleyball development across the country.
“The AGM is now called the congress, it's going really well, we are busy engaging with the other associations, learning from their challenges, what strategies they are using, so this is a very good opportunity for us to learn from the others and see how you can also implement what they are doing right into your association.”
The congress concluded with delegates reaffirming their commitment to advancing volleyball in Namibia.
The federation's next Annual General Meeting is expected to take place next year, when progress on the resolutions adopted in Rundu will be reviewed.
