FIVB nets extension with ball partner

The International Volleyball Federation (FIVB) has opted to extend its long-term partnership with Japanese sporting goods manufacturer Mikasa Sports.

The new deal will run for six years, from 2015 until 2020.

Under the agreement, Mikasa will continue to serve as the official ball supplier to the FIVB’s various volleyball and beach volleyball events.

The deal will also cover the volleyball tournament at the 2020 summer Olympic Games in Tokyo, Japan.

Mikasa started supporting the FIVB in 1985.
