Among these, 7 national federations represent the National Olympic Committees (NOCs) of their respective countries and dependent territories, allowing them to participate in the Olympic Games.[3]

EAVA consists of the national volleyball federations of East Asia and run zonal championships including the Eastern Asian Men's Volleyball Championship and Eastern Asian Women's Volleyball Championship. 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.[4]
