Following the success of the inaugural season, the Beach Pro Tour will continue to bring world-class sporting action to crowds at new, familiar and iconic locations across four continents.

With the start of the Olympic Qualification cycle in January and the World Championships taking place in Mexico in October, the second season of the Beach Pro Tour will be one to remember on and off the sand for players and fans alike.

The fun in the sun begins when the Elite16 event in Doha kicks off the new season on 1 February.

Among the new stops on the global tour, Volleyball World are delighted to be able to announce a number of new Elite16 stops to the calendar for 2023, with hugely anticipated events planned in Tepic, Mexico, and Montréal, Canada.

The calendar will also see the beach return to a number of memorable stops from the 2022 season, including Roland-Garros in Paris, Hamburg in Germany, and Dubai, which will return in 2023 with an Elite16 event.

Challenge events at iconic locations including Itapema, Mexico, the Maldives and Espinho, Portugal, return while new Challenge stops will head to Saquarema, Brazil, Hainan, China and the Philippines.

After 10 months touring the globe in South America, Europe, North America and Asia, the curtain will then come down on yet another thrilling season on the sand in Doha for the Beach Pro Tour Finals 2023, between 7-10 December at the Aspire Park in Doha.

Volleyball World CEO Finn Taylor said: “The first season of the Beach Pro Tour has seen the world’s best teams compete at the highest level and we are looking forward to building on that success in the competition’s second season in 2023.

“The interest from fans – both inside arenas and watching on TV and Volleyball World TV – shows the popularity is growing. The audience numbers around the globe particularly highlight the fact that beach volleyball continues to be an amazing product for sports fans to watch.

“We are taking beach volleyball to fans in all corners of the world next season and the 2023 calendar represents a great opportunity for fans of all ages to rub shoulders with Olympic and world champions in some truly breathtaking locations.”

Further stops are to be announced during the course of the season. A comprehensive list of events, which includes the schedule of Futures stops will be also be communicated. For more information visit beachprotour.com.

The field is set: Breaking down the FIVB Beach Volleyball World Championship

Travis Mewhirter

September 5, 2023

With last week’s drawing of the lots , the field for the FIVB Beach Volleyball World Championship has been set. Eight USA teams will be making the trip to Tlaxcala, Mexico this October 6-15 to compete for the biggest non-Olympic title in the sport — and a share of the $1 million purse.

Before we begin breaking down the pools, a little primer on the format: 48 teams per gender are split into 12 pools of four, which will operate in a round robin format in which everyone plays everyone in their pool.

The top two teams in each pool and the best four third-place teams will move directly to the round of 32. The remaining eight third-place teams will play in a lucky loser round to fill the last four spots in the elimination rounds. It remains single-elimination through the finals, which were won by Norway’s Anders Mol and Christian Sorum, and Brazil’s Duda Lisboa and Ana Patricia Silva in 2022.

What’s on the line?

The total purse for the event is $1 million, a sizable bounty that’ll motivate anyone. More important — to some, anyway — are the points available for the taking. With the Olympic race more than halfway over, the cutoff date being June 9, 2024, there is no single event with as many points on the line as the World Championship. The winners will rake in 1,600, 400 more than a gold medal at an Elite16 will get you. Anything in the top 10 will be a useful finish for an Olympic hopeful.

A bad finish won’t necessarily break any teams, but it can certainly separate several from the peloton. The winner of the event also earns a berth into the 2024 Paris Olympic Games for their federation.

Yes, you read that correct: The bid goes to the federation, not the team. If, for example, Betsi Flint and Julia Scoles win the World Championship, the bid is not given to them. It’s given to USA Volleyball, which does not guarantee that bid to Flint and Scoles. They would still need to beat out their countrywomen — Kelly Cheng and Sara Hughes, Kristen Nuss Taryn Kloth , Sarah Sponcil and Terese Cannon, Alix Klineman and Hailey Harward — for the spot.

While winning a World Championship and not qualifying on points is roughly the equivalent of catching the golden snitch and not winning in quidditch, it’s still a possible scenario, especially in the USA women’s race. The exact scenario mentioned above is really the only one I can imagine in which that could happen.

Which men’s teams need a good finish?

It should go without saying that everyone wants a good finish at the World Championships. If Miles Partain and Andy Benesh finish in the top five, you can safely view the USA men’s race as a battle for second — most already do — between Tri Bourne and Chaim Schalk, and Trevor Crabb and Theo Brunner. If both Bourne and Schalk, and Brunner and Crabb have disappointing finishes — this would be anything outside of the top-10 — that leaves the door open for Chase Budinger and Miles Evans, and Taylor Crabb and Taylor Sander , to potentially catch them down the road. Partain and Benesh have such a substantial lead at this point that, should they have a fluky finish, they’re still fine. But the teams who need a big one in the USA are Bourne and Schalk, and Crabb and Brunner. Sitting at home, Budinger and Evans, and Taylor Crabb and Sander, can do nothing more than hope their rivals have a quick trip to Mexico.

Internationally, the men’s pairs most in need of a top-10 in Mexico are those battling for the bottom three or four spots in the Olympic rankings, and those looking to push into the discussion. Those fitting that description would be Chile’s Marco Grimalt and Esteban Grimalt, Italy’s Daniele Lupo and Enrico Rossi, France’s Youssef Krou and Arnaud Gauthier-Rat, Ukraine’s Sergiy Popov and Eduard Reznik, Austria’s Julian Horl and Alex Horst, Poland’s Piotr Kantor and Jakub Zdybek, Brazil’s Pedro and Guto, the Netherlands’ Steven Van de Velde and Matthew Immers, Canada’s Sam Schachter and Dan Dearing , and all three Australian pairs.

Which women’s teams need a good finish?

Again, the disclaimer: Every team needs a good finish. If you have a lead, this is the time to cement yourself as the leader. If you’re behind, this is the time to make up some ground. But some pairs need this more than others, and no team needs it more than Hailey Harward and Alix Klineman. Their partnership is about as late as possible while still having an outside shot at qualifying for the Olympics. When Phil Dalhausser and Nick Lucena teamed up in 2015, it was deemed remarkably late, and even they had five events as a team at the point in the race where Klineman and Harward will begin. Had they not gotten a wild card into World Championships, they’d have no chance, but they received that wild card, and things could get interesting.

Klineman’s made a World Championship final before, in 2019 with April Ross. She’s won an Olympic gold medal. These are the stages on which she shines. Sure, she just had a kid two months ago, and this quick of a turnaround is wild and also awesome she’s feeling this good to take a crack at it. But one does not simply bet against Alix Klineman, and I won’t do so here.

A good finish in Mexico could potentially vault them directly into Elite16 main draws — they are currently No. 3 in the qualifier for the Paris Elite16 at the end of September — which is all you need to give yourself a chance at making a comeback in this Olympic race. But a poor finish in Mexico, especially with an unknown number of events prior to the June 9 cutoff next year, could very well make this race a short-lived one. But a good finish? Anything fifth and better?

Get your popcorn ready.

Flint and Scoles, too, could use a boost. Their wacky and wonderful silver medal out of the qualifier at the Montreal Elite16 put them firmly into the Olympic discussion, leaping Sponcil and Cannon for the third American spot. Another top-five in Mexico would make this an awfully close race, similar to the late run made by Cheng and Sponcil in 2021 prior to Tokyo, in which they punched their ticket in the final event of the qualification period.

Beyond the USA women, other duos who could use a boost include: France’s Lezana Placette and Alexia Richard, Finland’s Taru Lahti and Niina Ahtiainen, the Czech Republic’s Barbora Hermannova and Marie-Sara Stochlova, Poland’s Jagoda Gruszczynska and Aleksandra Wachowicz, Spain’s Lili Fernandez and Paula Soria and Daniela Alvarez and Tania Moreno, Germany’s Laura Ludwig and Louisa Lippmann, Switzerland’s Zoe Verge-Depre and Esmee Bobner and Anouk Verge-Depre and Joana Mader, Canada’s Molly McBain and Sarah Pavan , Austria’s Dorina and Ronja Klinger, and every Brazilian team not named Barbara and Carol or Duda and Ana Patricia.

Who is in the men’s Pool of Death?

Tri Bourne and Chaim Schalk have the most difficult pool by a long shot. Granted, Bourne was due for a tough draw after getting a cakewalk through last year’s pool play in Rome with Trevor Crabb. But to have Germany’s Nils Ehlers and Clemens Wickler, Kantor and Zdybek, and Chile’s youngsters, Noe Aravena and Vicente Droguett, is as tough as it gets in Mexico.

It’s notable that this has been a down year for Aravena and Droguett. They made a quick rise in 2022 after their silver medal in the Tlaxcala Challenge to open the season, but they’ve struggled mightily in 2023, qualifying just once. Still, they’re uber-talented and are, to me, a threat to beat virtually any team in the world. Pool K is the only other one that comes close on the men’s side, packed with Poland’s Bartosz Losiak and Michal Bryl, the Grimalts, Argentina’s Nico and Tomas Capogrosso, and French wild cards Julien Lyneel and Remi Bassereau.

How about the women’s Pool of Death?

It’s a bit of a bummer that Alix Klineman’s second tournament back from pregnancy — the Paris Elite16 will be her first — will feature the gauntlet that is Pool K. Seeded third in pool, Klineman and Harward will have Germans Svenja Muller and Cinja Tillman, Brazil’s Taina Silva and Victoria Lopes, and China’s Jie Dong and Fan Wang. Similar to the Chilean youngsters in Bourne and Schalk’s pool, Dong and Wang have not had a brilliant 2023, but they’re good enough to compete with and beat mostly anyone. Silva and Lopes, a mercurial team with a pair of medals this season, are currently fifth in the Olympic rankings, and Muller and Tillman are a medal favorite in any tournament they enter.

Pool H comes somewhat close but doesn’t cross the unofficial Pool of Death threshold. It includes the Netherlands’ Katja Stam and Raisa Schoon, Zoe Verge-Depre and Esmee Bobner, Pavan and McBain, and Puerto Rico’s Allanis Navas and Maria Gonzalez. If you haven’t yet heard of the Puerto Ricans, you can be forgiven: Like many teams punching their ticket to World Champs via the continental route, Navas and Gonzalez haven’t played many events outside of the NORCECA circuit, competing in a pair of Futures in Belgium and Warsaw and a Challenge in Edmonton. But when they have competed in NORCECAs, they’ve done well, winning in the Cayman Islands and the Dominican Republic and finishing fifth in Cuba.

Note: The original version of this story listed Navas and Gonzalez as from Cuba, not Puerto Rico. 

How did Molly McBain and Sarah Pavan qualify?

There has been quite a bit of social media uproar on the Canadian women’s NORCECA berth into World Championships. When Sophie Bukovec and Shanice Marcelle made it to the semifinals of the NORCECA World Championships qualifier earlier this summer, they earned a bid into the World Championships — with one stipulation. However, as outlined in rule 3d of the FIVB World Championships rulebook, in order to compete in the World Championships, both players need to be ranked in the top 250 in the world. Marcelle, who has played three point-accruing events this season — a Futures in New Zealand, a NORCECA in Mexico, a Challenge in Edmonton — is ranked 276, 38 points shy of breaking into the top 250. Had she won her first round of the Edmonton qualifier, she’d have been in the top 250 and into the World Championships with Bukovec. That’s how close the cut line was.

But the spot was still earned for the Canadian Federation by Bukovec and Marcelle, and Canada is sending its second-ranked team in McBain and Pavan in their stead. Bukovec has since pivoted, switched back to blocking, and is making a late run with Olympian and three-time Best Defensive Player Heather Bansley.

Live streaming, Volleyball World Beach Pro Tour 2023 Goa Challenge: Six Indian pairs to compete amidst world and Olympic medallists - where to watch

This is the first time India will be hosting a major world-level beach volleyball tournament. Watch live!

The Volleyball World Beach Pro Tour 2023 Goa Challenge will be held from October 19 to 22 at Panaji’s Miramar Beach.

It will be the first time that India will be hosting a major world-level beach volleyball tournament. All matches of the Volleyball World Beach Pro Tour 2023 Goa Challenge will be live streamed in India.

The Volleyball World Beach Pro Tour 2023 Goa Challenge will feature several top beach volleyball stars, including a number of world champions and Olympic medallists.

Brazilian Olympians Agatha Bednarczuk and Rebecca Cavalcanti will be in action in Goa. Agatha is one of the most accomplished players on Tour. She was a world champion in 2015, a three-time FIVB Beach Volleyball World Tour season champion in 2015, 2018 and 2021, and an Olympic silver medallist at Rio 2016.

World championship 2013 silver medallist Karla Borger of Germany is coming to Goa with Sandra Ittlinger. Tokyo 2020 Olympic bronze medallists and 2020 European champions Joana Mader and Anouk Verge-Depre of Switzerland are also in the main draw and so are this year’s CEV European Championship silver medallists Daniela Alvarez and Tania Moreno of Spain.

All of these teams are among the 16 seeded directly into the 24-team women’s main draw, while others like three-time European championship medallist Liliana Fernandez of Spain will test their luck and skills in the qualification bracket that will fill up the remaining eight main draw vacancies.

The men’s main draw features well-seasoned Spanish standouts Pablo Herrera and Adrian Gavira, 2013 European champions and two-time European championship bronze medallists. While Gavira has played at three Olympic Games, his partner Herrera, an Athens 2004 silver medallist, is aiming at a record sixth Olympic appearance.

World championship silver medallist Alexander Horst of Austria and his current partner Julian Horl are also among the 16 teams seeded directly into the men’s main draw.

So are the reigning Asian champions Thomas Hodges and Zachery Schubert of Australia, the Brazilian pairing of 2015 world championship bronze medallist and 2008 World Tour season champion Pedro Solberg with Gustavo Carvalhaes (Guto), the Polish pairing of 2021 European championship bronze medallist Piotr Kantor with Jakub Zdybek and this year’s Asian championship bronze medallists Pithak Tipjan and Poravid Taovato of Thailand.

The 29-team men’s qualification bracket also features an impressive line-up, including Olympic medallists. London 2012 bronze medallist and three-time Olympian Martins Plavins of Latvia will compete alongside rising 18-year-old star Kristians Fokerots.

Among Indians, Sasikala Veerapathiran and Kanimozhi Lakshmanan will represent the hosts in the women’s main draw while Deepika Kandasamy/Pavithra Sudalaikasi and Kavipriya Nagarajan/Vishnu Varthini Marimuthu are listed to compete in the qualification bracket.

In the men’s division, Robin Ravi/Barath Sonu and Selvam Shankar/Thiyagarajan Govindasamy start from the qualifiers while Rama Krishna Dhawaskar/Nitin Kashinath Sawant are listed to compete in the main draw.

Performances at Volleyball World Beach Pro Tour 2023 events count towards FIVB Olympic Rankings, which will be used to determine which teams secure berths to the Paris 2024 Olympics .

Where to watch Volleyball World Beach Pro Tour 2023 Goa Challenge live in India

Live streaming of the Volleyball World Beach Pro Tour 2023 Goa Challenge will be available on Fancode app and website in India. There will be no live telecast of the event on any TV channel in India.
