Magang contests for FIVB position

Magang will contest for the position of Gender Minority in the FIVB board at the upcoming elective congress to be held in Porto, Portugal from November 15-17. She is the only African candidate in the elections. “I will be representing the world, it is not only Africa. We will oversee how the world of volleyball integrates women and develop strategies that can advance that,” Magang said in an interview. Magang said what motivated her to contest for the position is that women often do not trust or challenge themselves.

“I have always wanted to find myself in a place where I am able to go for something that really challenges me. The skills I have acquired so far and the experience I have garnered, take it to another level. That is exactly what I have done. I could have gone for the same position in the African Volleyball Confederation (CAVB), which is called Gender in Minority but it focuses on Africa. I am already working directly with CAVB,” she said. Magang explained that she needed to explore beyond CAVB because when she sits on the FIVB board, automatically she is on the CAVB board.
