The North European Volleyball Zonal Association (NEVZA) was founded in 2002.   NEVZA has been based since the year 2013 in Helsinki, Finland since at that time both the President and Secretary General represented the Finnish Volleyball Association. Next time this matter is on the agenda will be in September 2019 when there will be the election of both the President and Secretary General.

NEVZA has eight members: Denmark, England, Finland, Norway and Sweden to be considered as ‘big countries’, while the Faroe Islands, Greenland and Iceland are members of the Small Countries Association (SCA) as well.

NEVZA has been organising every year U17 and U19 Volleyball Zonal Championships and the NEVZA Volleyball Club Championships (NCC), all of which are for both genders. NEVZA Beach Volleyball yearly competitions are the U17, U19 and U21 NEVZA Beach Volley Championships and NEVZA Zonal Beach Volleyball tournaments for seniors.

NEVZA is also encouraging and helping all members in the implementation of a number of Development Projects, with some joint ones and others addressed to one Member Federation only. NEVZA has worked a long time to finalise the so-called NEVZA Strategy Framework as a common tool to use in all member countries to make Volleyball one of the most popular sports.
