France Volleyball Ecosystem
Nomvex is not a directory for one federation. It combines multiple layers of French volleyball while keeping source, season, verification date and participation type separate.
The figures below describe the French volleyball ecosystem from their sources. They are never presented as Nomvex visits or users.
Market-size signals
Each figure keeps its source and date. Some populations overlap, so they are not added together to fabricate a “total players” number.
Coverage layers
Each source serves a different purpose; duplicates are resolved at entity level instead of deleting an entire source.
