News from the Zonal Associations
Göteborg, Sweden, October 29, 2019. The city of Göteborg is getting ready to host the final NEVZA Beach Volleyball tournament of the year, as the so-called NEVZA Beach Sweden will take place from Friday to Sunday in the world’s largest indoor Beach Volleyball arena.
The 2019 NEVZA Beach Volleyball season concludes as the tour moves on to Göteborg, Sweden, for the final event of the year. Göteborg Beachvolley Club (GBC) and the Swedish Volleyball Federation are happy and honoured to host a NEVZA Beach Volleyball tournament for the seventh year in a row. Some of Northern Europe’s most talented and competitive teams are travelling to Sweden’s second largest city to fight for the top honours at the Beach Center, the world’s biggest indoor Beach Volleyball arena.
”GBC has had a fantastic year that started with a 1-Star World Tour event in April, followed by the CEV U20 Beach Volleyball European Championship which took place in late June, and now the NEVZA Beach Sweden. We are very happy that the club continues to grow and that they are always looking for new opportunities,” says Martin Kihlström, Secretary General of the Swedish Volleyball Federation.
The event will feature men’s and women’s teams from Denmark, England, Finland, Norway, Iceland and hosts Sweden. As many as fourteen Swedish teams will participate, several of them playing on their very own home soil in Göteborg and the Beach Center. Beach Center is a non-profit organisation owned and run by Göteborg Beachvolley Club, which is the biggest Volleyball club in Sweden. The centre offers great event and training opportunities all year around and has 16 warmed up indoor courts and six outdoor courts.
NEVZA Beach Sweden will take place side by side with a mass participation Beach Volleyball event called Halloween Cup. Therefore, both elite and amateur players will get to inspire each other and at the same time exemplify how Beach Volleyball as a sport is both lifelong and for everyone.
"We are proud to invite so many top teams from several of our neighbouring countries. We are looking forward to watching great matches, they will for sure add extra spice to the already great atmosphere in Beach Center during the Halloween Cup tournament weekend,” says Anneli Friborg, President of Göteborg Beachvolley Club.
