It governs indoor volleyball and beach volleyball in Southeast Asia.[1] SAVA consists of 11 national federation members which are full members with the Fédération Internationale de Volleyball (FIVB). All of them also represent the National Olympic Committees (NOCs) of their respective countries and dependent territories, allowing them to participate in the Olympic Games.[2]

SAVA consists of the national volleyball federations of Central Asia and South Asia and run zonal championships including the SEA V.League Men's Division and SEA V.League Women's Division. It also promotes regional volleyball, supports the creation of national federations affiliated with FIVB, ensures compliance with FIVB regulations, plans annual activities, and reports competition results to the FIVB and confederations.[3]

The current president, Somporn Chaibangyang, president of the Thailand Volleyball Association, was elected as SAVA's president for the 2024–2028 term in Bangkok, Thailand, in February 2024.[4] [5] His election also secured him the position of vice-president within the continental governing body, AVC.[6]
