Important Notes at the Challenging Times of COVID-19 Pandemic
The global COVID-19 outbreak has had a significant impact on Beach Volleyball
and the movement and travel restrictions imposed by governments have resulted
in the suspension of the World Tour Calendar.
With restrictions gradually relaxing in Europe the CEV, respective National
Federations and event organizers are working in delivering events in accordance
with the guidance of medical experts, government and public health authorities.
The health and safety of athletes, coaches, officials and fans remain the top
FIVB and CEV priority, and both parties are working on developing guidelines
for beach volleyball competition restart that will be shared to all interested
parties at a later stage.
Further to above, it is important for all participants to study the below
points carefully:
Travel Restrictions (constantly updated)
The Slovenian government allows a list of nationalities to enter the country
without restrictions (last updated on 03rd July 2020), Link: https://www.nijz.si/en/list-countries-crossing-national-borders-without-restrictions
For all other persons without permanent or temporary residence in the above
list a 14-day quarantine is is currenty imposed upon arrival.

Ministry of Health: https://www.gov.si/en/state-authorities/ministries/ministry-of-health/
Considering the changing environment and the constantly updating travel
restrictions imposed by National Authorities across the world, the FIVB and CEV
have decided to waive any sanctions to withdrawals due to such restrictions up
to the last minute withdrawal stage of the competition (5 days before the start
date of the 2020 World Tour).
