A significant milestone has been reached in the world of beach volleyball, as 66% of national teams qualified for the FIVB Beach Volleyball World Championships 2025 in Adelaide are set to benefit from the FIVB’s Volleyball Empowerment initiative. This demonstrates the expanding reach and influence of the program in advancing international performance standards.
Out of the 96 teams set to compete—comprising 48 men’s and 48 women’s pairs from 40 nations—63 teams have received support. That includes 32 men’s and 31 women’s teams, a testament to FIVB's commitment to nurturing talent on a global scale.
The Championships, scheduled for 14–23 November, represent the 15th edition of this prestigious event.
