The event in northern Germany will bring the world’s beach volleyball elite back to one of the sport’s hot spots for the first time since 2019 and the success of a memorable edition of the FIVB Beach Volleyball World Championships.

Fans are set to get another blast of the beach volleyball experience as the world’s top teams travel to Hamburg for an Elite16 event. The best pairs will battle for medals, valuable World Ranking points and a share of the USD 300,000 prize purse. With only 16 men’s and 16 women’s teams making it to the main draw, the competition format guarantees a top-calibre spectacle.
