History

Yugoslav Volleyball Federation was founded in 1946 by the Alliance for Physical Education of Yugoslavia. In 1947, the International Volleyball Federation FIVB was founded and Yugoslavia was one of the 14 founders. From 13 February 1949, the Volleyball Federation became an independent sports organization. The greatest success of the Yugoslav women's national team was the bronze medal at the European Championship in 1951, which was also the first international medal for Yugoslav volleyball. The national team participated nine more times in the European Championships, once in the World Championships, until it failed to qualify for the Olympic Games. At the Mediterranean Games, three medals were won, one gold, one silver and one bronze for the same number of participants.
