With a total of seven FIVB Beach Volleyball Opens in the 2013 calendar comprising five double-gender and two women-only tournaments, there is plenty of possiblities for athletes to partake in high quality, international competition. Over the course of the year more Open events could be added to the schedule, ensuring that all five Confederations will host an FIVB event in 2013.
The FIVB Open tournaments get underway in the sunny surrounds of Fuzhou in south-east China from April 24 to 28 and conclude in South Africa’s surf capital, Durban from December 12 to 15. Other FIVB Open tournaments in 2013 include Kampala in Uganda, Vizag in India and Phuket in Thailand.
