The Dutch Volleyball Association or in (Dutch : Nederlandse Volleybalbond, NeVoBo) is an organisation founded in 1947 to govern the practice of volleyball in the Netherlands.
It organises the men's and women's championships, and places the men's and women's national team under its aegis. The NeVoBo joined the FIVB in 1947.[1][2]
In 2024, NeVoBo included Steven van de Velde, a convicted child rapist, in their team for the 2024 Paris Olympics.[3][4]
Support for a convicted child rapist
In 2024, the Dutch Volleyball Federation nominated beach volleyball player Steven van de Velde for its 2024 Olympics team, setting aside the fact that he is a convicted child rapist and has been placed on the sex offender registry in the United Kingdom for life since 2016.[5] The Committee stood by their nomination despite his criminal record for sex crimes and even after the outcry from the British and American public, asserting that van de Velde has "served his sentence".[6]
