The inaugural 2022 Volleyball World Beach Pro Tour season just got better and richer as five new Futures stops in Europe were added to the calendar. The total number of Futures tournaments scheduled for this year is now 24 and counting...

Leuven in Belgium, Myslowice in Poland, Montpellier in France, Warsaw in Poland and The Hague in the Netherlands are the new locations to welcome striving beach volleyball teams from all over the world in exciting battles for points and better positions in the FIVB World Ranking.

Leuven hosted a 1-star event during the last season of the FIVB Beach Volleyball World Tour in 2021 and will join the first season of the Beach Pro Tour with another double-gender tournament to take place from July 21 through 24.

Myslowice has a long history of playing host to high-level international competitions between 2004 and 2014. Most recently, the southern Polish city welcomed the participants in the 2014 FIVB U23 Beach Volleyball World Championships. Eight years later, Myslowice will organise a Futures tournament for men and women from July 28 through 31.

Montpellier continues the tradition that started in 2017, when the French Mediterranean town organised its first of five consecutive 1-star tournaments, with a men’s Futures event from August 24 through 28, about a month before the Beach Pro Tour returns to France with an Elite16 stop in Paris.

The following week, from September 1 through 4, another single-gender tournament for men will be held in Warsaw. The Polish capital will entertain Beach Pro Tour participants for the second time, after hosting a double-gender stop from June 29 through July 3. So the central European country is set to organise a total of four Beach Pro Tour Futures in three different cities, along with Byalistok (in June) and Myslowice. In 2018 and 2019, Warsaw welcomed the international beach elite for a couple of 4-star tournaments. Last year the city hosted a 1-star event.

The Hague will see 2022 off with a Futures competition set to take place at the very end of the year, from December 28 through 31. The Dutch coastal city hosted as many as eight FIVB double-gender tournaments between 2008 and 2019.

The first-ever Futures tournament finished on Sunday in Coolangatta, Australia. The next one is heading to Songkhla in Thailand.
