Legislation introduced during the junta period and unchanged to this day cause the Hellenic Volleyball Federation to have no clear idea of where its money goes and what is the amount due to 120 sports associations. 

As the Greek sports website www.sport.gr reports, the frustration of 120 sport associations waiting for their money, grows larger and larger. Soon they plan to convene an extraordinary meeting at which to censure the work of current board of the federation and even to set a date for new election. The main argument for the actions of the associations is the lack of confidence in the management of the federation and its inability to deal with the serious problems that Greek volleyball struggles today.
