AFVB

What AFVB does

The Fédération Algérienne de Volley Ball (FAVB / AFVB) is the national governing body for volleyball and beach volleyball in Algeria, founded on December 1, 1962, and headquartered in Algiers. Operating as a non-profit under the oversight of Algeria's Ministry of Youth and Sports (MJS), FAVB organizes national championship leagues (Nationale 1A and 1B) for senior men and women, the Algerian Cup across all age categories (seniors, juniors, cadets, minimes, benjamins), a national beach volleyball circuit, and youth development programs including the 'Un enfant un ballon' mini-volleyball initiative that gathered 2,600 children in a single 2011 event.

As the official Algerian member of FIVB and CAVB, the federation manages Algerian national teams participating in World Championships, African Championships, Mediterranean Games, and Olympic qualification tournaments, achieving milestones such as the women's team's first-ever FIVB World Championship participation in 2010 (Japan) and a 2nd-place African finish in 2015. FAVB also runs coach training (including FIVB Level I certification), referee certification through the CALJ commission, and oversees the development of training infrastructure at Azeffoun, Nedroma, Béjaïa, Touggourt, and a planned international beach volleyball center in Tipasa.

The federation has no commercial product surface, no technology platform, and no disclosed revenue model; activities are funded through MJS government allocations, competition revenues, and international federation partnerships. Leadership transitions include the 2013 election of Okba Gougam as president, the 2015 resignation of head coach François Salvagni after African championship success, and the current presidency of Mustapha Lemouchi, who also holds the CAVB Zone 1 presidency.
