The Netherlands has been officially chosen to host the 2027 FIVB Beach Volleyball World Championships, a premier event in international beach volleyball. This decision comes after a highly competitive bidding process in which the Dutch proposal stood out thanks to its dynamic vision and unique multi-city format.
The tournament will be conducted across four cities, marking a return of the prestigious competition to Dutch soil after previously hosting it successfully in 2015. Sanctioned by the Fédération Internationale de Volleyball (FIVB), the championship is anticipated to attract the world’s top beach volleyball teams.
Organizing and Objectives
The Dutch Volleyball Federation (Nevobo) will take the lead in organizing the event. With a strong track record in international competitions such as the Volleyball Nations League, Nevobo aims to:
- Utilize a multi-city approach to decentralize the action
- Bring the sport closer to communities across the Netherlands
- Encourage grassroots participation and national enthusiasm
Why It Matters
The 2027 edition is expected to solidify the tournament's importance and visibility, especially in Europe. It aligns with FIVB’s mission to:
- Grow global interest in volleyball
- Support local development programs
- Connect elite athletics with broader communities
With beach volleyball's popularity on the rise, especially across Europe, the Netherlands’ upcoming role as host positions it once again as a key player in the sport’s international growth.
