The Eswatini National Volleyball Association (ENVA), founded in 1984, is the governing body for volleyball in the Kingdom of Eswatini. Headquartered in Mbabane, we oversee both indoor and beach volleyball, managing national championships, youth development programs, and our men's and women's national teams. We are proud members of the FIVB (since 1984) and the African Volleyball Confederation (CAVB).

Our Vision

We are committed to becoming "a formidable force in the region" through strengthened infrastructure, talent development, and competitive excellence. Our motto: "Together, we rise, empower, and inspire through volleyball!"
