<h2>What are the FIVB Financial Regulations?</h2>
<p>The FIVB Financial Regulations govern the federation's sources of revenue and how it is spent: the annual membership fees of national federations, event revenue and commercial rights, the share received from the International Olympic Committee, fines, and, on the other side, financial support for national federations, confederations and development centres. The tariff for advertising on team shirts and the policy on signing financial documents are also set out in this document.</p>

<h2>About the August 2026 edition<span class="reg-tag">Changes from June 2018</span></h2>
<h3>Key changes from the previous edition</h3>
<ol class="reg-tl">
<li><b class="t">Advertising tariff by national-federation category</b>The tariff for shirt advertising was set separately by category. For <strong>category three</strong> federations: the senior World Championship 7,500 francs, Olympic qualification tournaments 5,000, the U21 World Championship 1,750, the U19 and U17 championships 1,250, the Club World Championships 2,500 and the Nations League 5,000 francs; the figures for the higher category are double these amounts. For <strong>category one and two</strong> federations, <strong>no tariff</strong> is charged in world competitions.</li>
<li><b class="t">Solidarity distribution and international transfers</b>The mechanism for <strong>solidarity distribution to clubs</strong> was made explicit; if a national federation does not forward a club's request to the FIVB, <strong>the club may apply directly</strong> to the FIVB or the confederation. International transfers are subject to the International Transfer Certificate (ITC) procedure.</li>
<li><b class="t">Document signature policy</b>All contracts and mandates must be concluded in accordance with the <strong>signature policy approved by the Board of Administration</strong>, and the text of that policy is annexed to the regulations.</li>
<li><b class="t">Expert-review condition for investments</b>Before any investment, and likewise before the sale of an invested asset, the federation is required to <strong>consult experts and carry out the necessary review in accordance with market standards</strong>.</li>
<li><b class="t">Support payments made conditional</b>No payment is made to a confederation that <strong>has not submitted its annual report and financial statements</strong>, and support for development centres is conditional on a report showing the coaches, the number and names of participants, the duration and programme, and the support received.</li>

<h2>Who this document matters to</h2>
<p>For national federations, two parts of this document have direct application: the tariffs and payment deadlines — breach of which leads to loss of voting rights at the Congress — and the <strong>development support</strong> mechanism, receipt of which is conditional on submitting reports and financial statements. Clubs, in turn, deal with this text through the <strong>solidarity distribution</strong> mechanism and international transfers.</p>
