The International Table Volleyball Federation (ITVF) proudly announces a groundbreaking collaboration with the United Nations Alliance of Civilizations (UNAOC) to promote the Sport for #OneHumanity campaign. This partnership underscores both organisations' shared commitment to leveraging the transformative power of sports to foster inclusivity, mutual respect, unity and cross-cultural dialogue.

The Sport for #OneHumanity campaign, led by UNAOC, seeks to inspire global unity by emphasizing values of diversity, solidarity, and equality. By joining forces with ITVF, this initiative gains a unique platform to engage communities through table volleyball—a sport that champions teamwork, accessibility, and inclusivity across all ages and abilities.

Through this collaboration, ITVF and UNAOC will work hand in hand to:

• Promote social inclusion by organizing joint events and initiatives in underserved communities.
• Raise awareness of the campaign’s core values through sports programs and educational workshops.
• Engage athletes, coaches, and fans worldwide to be ambassadors of unity and respect.

“This partnership with the International Table Volleyball Federation aligns perfectly with our mission to build bridges between cultures and foster understanding,” said Mr. Miguel Ángel Moratinos, High Representative for the United Nations Alliance of Civilization. “Table volleyball’s accessibility and universal appeal make it a powerful tool for promoting the values of the Sport for #OneHumanity campaign.”

Based on this collaboration, ITVF plans to feature special events, including tournaments and exhibition games, emphasising the importance of inclusion and diversity in sports. These efforts inspire communities to embrace the campaign’s values and work together toward a more peaceful and harmonious world.

“We are honored to partner with UNAOC on the Sport for #OneHumanity campaign,” said István Döbrei, Secretary-General of the International Table Volleyball Federation. “Table volleyball exemplifies the spirit of inclusivity and equality; we are thrilled to contribute to this global initiative, demonstrating that sports can unite us across boundaries and differences, regardless of age, gender and religion. We will work hard with UNAOC to create value through our new-generation volleyball-based sport in many countries and nations around the world.”

With this partnership, ITVF and UNAOC affirm their commitment to creating meaningful impact through sports, inspiring individuals and communities to champion inclusivity and solidarity in every aspect of life.
