Doha to host World Beach Pro Tour’s inaugural season from May 5-8
Doha: Doha is set to stage the third Challenge tournament in the Volleyball World Beach Pro Tour’s inaugural season from May 5-8.
The Qatari capital will welcome the Beach Pro Tour’s Challenge tournaments to a third continent after Mexico held an event in Tlaxcala and Brazil in Itapema.
International beach volleyball was first played in Doha in 2014, when the city hosted the penultimate men’s event on the FIVB World Tour calendar. Beach volleyball returned to the Qatari capital another eight times in the next seven years, with two events held in the 2020 and 2021 seasons.
The most recent tournament in March 2021 featured both men’s and women’s team.
Doha has also hosted other international tournaments like the FIVB-sanctioned beach volleyball event at the ANOC World Beach Games and the Finals of the 2021 King of the Court series earlier this year.
