Bulgaria has allocated USD 5 M to support the co-hosting of the Men’s Volleyball World Championship in 2018, the government said on Monday.
In December 2015, the International Volleyball Federation (FIVB) selected Bulgaria and Italy to host jointly the 19th edition of the championship. It will be the first volleyball world championship co-hosted by two countries, with the semifinals and finals of the tournament to be played in Italy.
The cities of Sofia, Plovdiv, Varna and Ruse will host matches of 12 teams.
Bulgaria last hosted the World Volleyball Championship in 1970.
The women’s 2018 volleyball tournament will take place in Japan.
