What Confederação Brasileira de Voleibol does

Confederação Brasileira de Voleibol (CBV) is the official national governing body for volleyball and beach volleyball in Brazil, headquartered in Rio de Janeiro with a national training center (Centro de Desenvolvimento de Voleibol) in Saquarema. Founded around 1991, CBV organizes and sanctions the country's professional competition pyramid — Superliga A, B, and C tiers for indoor volleyball, plus the Supercopa, Copa Brasil, Master Saquarema, and the Circuito Brasileiro de Vôlei de Praia (CBVP) for beach volleyball — and manages Brazil's men's and women's national teams for international events including the FIVB Volleyball Nations League and Olympic qualification.

The organization operates a vertically integrated product and technology stack: the VôleiShop e-commerce platform (powered by VTEX) sells licensed merchandise produced by Volt Sport, including the Essência do Brasil 2026 collection; the International Volleyball Program (IVP), developed with TIZAN and Instituto VivaVôlei, offers online continuing education for volleyball professionals; the Sou do Vôlei fan program drives community engagement; the Jornada das Estrelas career-transition program with UniFECAF supports athlete welfare; and the Sistema de Desafio electronic challenge system is being prepared for the 26/27 season. The VivaVôlei social initiative extends volleyball-based inclusion programs into new cities including São Paulo.

CBV's revenue model is a hybrid federation model: corporate sponsorship (Banco do Brasil as Master Sponsor for 35 years, plus Enel, Mikasa, Volt Sport, Melitta, Piracanjuba, and others) anchors the top line; TV Globo and sportv broadcast rights plus VBTV subscription streaming generate media revenue; event ticket sales (20,000+ at Superliga finals, 80,000 across VNL Brasília) and e-commerce merchandise sales contribute direct-to-consumer revenue; and athlete registration fees round out a diversified five-stream income base. CBV serves professional volleyball clubs, elite national-team athletes, beach volleyball competitors, fans, and corporate sponsors across the Brazilian sports ecosystem.
