Volleyball is a sport controlled by the Fédération Internationale de Volleyball, commonly known as FIVB.
FIVB co-governs Beach Volleyball and Snow Volleyball, other than the sport. The sport is played in 221 nations across the globe controlled by member associations or National Sport Federation and five continental federations (confederations).
The sport is played on a rectangular court divided into two part with a net and middle-line with a ball in close resemblance with a football.
