The President of the Bulgarian Volleyball Federation was elected to the FIVB Administrative Board at the currently ongoing 39th FIVB World Congress. The elections were held en bloc by continental federations. Only two people voted against. From CEV, in addition to Ganev, representatives from Scotland, Austria, Serbia, Czech Republic, France, Slovakia, and Portugal are joining, while representatives from Italy and Liechtenstein are leaving the board.

Recently, Ganev was also successfully elected to the CEV Administrative Board, solidifying his role in European volleyball leadership.

Representatives of gender minorities were also included in the Administrative Board – this is to strengthen FIVB's commitment to diversity in the governance structure.
