Tokyo, which will hold the women's opening matches,
is, needless to say, Japan's capital city. Its entire population is
well over ten million and many skyscrapers soar in Shinjuku, Shibuya
and Ikebukuro. Yet more skyscrapers are emerging in Roppongi and Shiodome.
The National Yoyogi Stadium No.1 Gymnasium was built for the 1964
Olympics and since then, it has been regarded as Japan's mecca of
sports, where various sport events are held. The opening ceremony
for the '77 World Cup took place at the gym - staged for the first
time in Japan - and since then the gym has been the main venue for
the World Cup and has offered volleyball fans the excitement, enthusiasm
and inspiration of volleyball.
