ANDERSSON Mats – SWE (PVE)

ANDERSSON

Mats started with WOVD in 1983 when the organiser of the annual Malmö Open introduced sitting volleyball and needed referees. Among the greatest influences on his development were Jorunn Hynes, chair of the volleyball committee in the Swedish Federation for disabled, who believed in him and made it possible for him to go to the International Referees course in 1993; and Jan Otto Solvang, who believed in him from the very beginning and has been supportive through the years.
