The stage is now set for the 2025 FIVB Beach Volleyball World Championships, with the official Drawing of Lots completed and the pools unveiled for one of the sport’s most anticipated global events.

Adelaide will welcome the world’s elite beach volleyball athletes from 14-23 November 2025, with competition to be held across The Drive and Pinky Flat/Tarntanya Wama, in the heart of the city.
