The world governing body of volleyball, FIVB, has written to the Indian Olympic Association (IOA) expressing concerns over the organisation of a recent event in India.
The Beach Pro Tour event held in Bhubaneswar earlier this month faced visa rejections and unpaid hosting fees, with FIVB yet to receive the $300,000 hosting fee from the organisers.
An IOA official said they have requested all necessary documents from FIVB, citing visa rejections as a possible reason and the ongoing governance crisis in the sport.
The Volleyball Federation of India (VFI) received provisional recognition from the IOA on Friday, following FIVB's provisional recognition to the 'VFI Interim Body' for a six-month period.
The recognition is subject to the VFI interim leadership cooperating fully with FIVB, IOA, the Sports Ministry, and a steering committee constituted by FIVB.
