CAVB honors NORCECA President with the Silver Order
KIGALI, Rwanda, December 7, 2013- CAVB President Dr Amr Elwani
honoured FIVB
Executive vice President and NORCECA Confederation President
Cristobal Marte Hoffiz with the Silver order of CAVB after his
great work to support Africa during the operations of the CAVB
Congress held at Serena in Kigali, Rwanda on Saturday.
Marte Hoffiz expressed his gratitude to receive the order and to
be honoured with this prize in a big event like the CAVB
Congress.
"We have similar financial and technical conditions in NORCECA
like Africa and thus I fought together with Dr Elwani for a long
time to take the support we deserve from the FIVB and finally we
succeeded to show our ability in Graca's era as FIVB President.
I want to thank Dr Elwani and his team for this confidence and I
hope they work hard for more progress," he
said.
"What happened here in one year is a big success and I can see
that Africa is going now towards the world level with the
support of FIVB and its president. I can expect one day that an
African team will be the best in the world. If we want someday
to be more famous than soccer, we need to work together and
support each other for that target." |
