Today is the 103rd anniversary of volleyball in Russia. We sincerely congratulate all those involved in the best ball game — players, coaches, referees, management staff, volleyball veterans, and fans — on this significant event! We wish you good health and bright victories!
The official birthday of Russian volleyball is considered to be July 28, 1923, when an amateur match was held in Moscow on Myasnitskaya Street between the volleyball players of the Higher Art and Technical Workshops (now the Moscow Architectural Institute) and the Moscow School of Cinematography (now the All-Russian State Institute of Cinematography named after S.A. Gerasimov).
Now volleyball is one of the most successful sports in Russia in terms of the performance of club and national teams on the international arena.
Happy holiday, friends!
