Brazil's
double-gender event returns to Vitória
  VITÓRIA
2006
- For the fourth-straight year, Brazil hosts a double gender event towards
the end of the season as Vitória,
the capital of the
smallest state (Espírito Santo) in the country,
hosts the world’s best beach volleyball players for the first-time since
2002.
Vitória
has previously hosted single gender events and now
joins Rio and Salvador in hosting both men and women at the same time. Espírito
Santo, almost the size of Portugal, has some of Brazil’s best beaches in
terms of sun, mountains and nice cities and villas. Vitória is
a warm and sunny tourist island very close to the South American continent. Vitória's location, climate and tourist attractions offer Brazil’s best
facilities for staging international, national and regional conferences.

Men - The SWATCH-FIVB World Tour

Vitória events featured all-Brazilian gold medal matches with four different winners.
Brazil has hosted more men’s “open” SWATCH stops than any other country with the
2006 Vitoria event being No. 28.
