2017 FIVB Beach Volleyball World Tour Men’s & Women’s Highlights

The 2017 FIVB Beach Volleyball World Tour calendar features US$5.61 million in prize money, a new star-

rating system with three Major Series Five-Star events, two Four-Star events, five Three-Star events, four Two-

Star events, and six One-Star events, along with the Swatch FIVB Beach Volleyball World Tour Finals. There

will be only one age-group FIVB World Championships held in 2017, for players under the age of 21. The

showcase event in 2017 will be the Beach Volleyball World Championships in Vienna, Austria in late July and

early August. The 2017 schedule begins in February and concludes in October. This year marks the 31st

anniversary of the first FIVB beach volleyball event held February 17-22, 1987 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The

gold medal was won by USA’s Sinjin Smith/Randy Stoklos. The men’s World Tour began in 1989, the women’s

in 1992. Smith/Stoklos were the champions of the inaugural season in 1989-90.

· The international beach volleyball circuit visits 22 sites in 17 countries over a nine-month period spanning

from February to October. The last event in October at Qinzhou, China, will be part of the 2018 World

Tour.

· The 2017 FIVB Beach Volleyball schedule features 16 men’s and 20 women’s events within the all five

in prize money.

none of the four Two-Star events, and four of the six One-Star events will also include both genders.

· The two showcase events on the 2017 FIVB World Tour Calendar will be the FIVB World Championships,

played in Vienna, Austria from July 28-August 6 and the Swatch FIVB World Tour Season Final, played in

Hamburg, Germany from August 23-27.

Croatia (Porec) and Switzerland (Gstaad). The new venue for 2017 was in the United States (Fort

Lauderdale).

· The Four-Star events in 2017 were in Brazil (Rio de Janeiro), and will be held in Poland (Olsztyn).
