The countdown is on for the FIVB Beach Volleyball World Championships Adelaide 2025, with just 100 days to go until the city is ignited with beach volleyball action.
From 14-23 November, the World Championships will take over The Drive and Pinky Flat and will be the largest beach volleyball event ever held in Asia or Oceania - and fans are invited to be part of the action right in the centre of the Adelaide CBD.
To mark the 100 day milestone, a surprise ‘mystery box’ was unveiled in Rundle Mall and delighted locals, with Olympic gold medallist and event ambassador Kerri Pottharst giving away 300 beach volleyballs.
“Excitement is building. This year marks the 25th anniversary of our Olympic gold medal and Adelaide will be a pivotal moment to ignite the next golden era for our sport,” Pottharst said.
“You will be able to see our Aussie men’s and women’s teams in action from day one, kicking off with the Green and Gold Super Session on opening night, which will see them play alongside an Olympic medallist. It’s going to be electric,” she said.
Tickets are on sale now.
For the first seven days of competition, Pinky Flat in the heart of Adelaide will be transformed into the ‘Central Beach District’, a curated festival that celebrates South Australia’s vibrant beach culture. Visitors will step off the Adelaide Riverbank Pedestrian Bridge and into the sand, immersing themselves in live music, local food and drink activations, interactive volleyball experiences, and a main stage overlooking the Adelaide city skyline. It’s a new kind of sports experience, where world-class competition is intertwined with the iconic South Australian beachside experience.
