Lausanne, Switzerland, April 13, 2010 – The 2010 FIVB World Grand Prix Pool A fixtures originally due to take place in Sao Paulo, Brazil from August 6 to 8 will now be held in Sao Carlos on the same dates after it was announced that the Ibirapuera Venue, which is currently being rebuilt, will not be ready in time to host the fixtures.
Sao Carlos’ Ginasio Milton Olaio Filho stadium, which has a capacity of 8,400, will now host the opening stage of the tournament and despite the change in location the schedule will remain the same with Brazil, Italy, Japan and Chinese Taipei all competing.
