2012 CEV Beach Volleyball Continental Cup Semifinal

  • The inaugural CEV Beach Volleyball
    Continental Cup and FIVB Beach Volleyball World Cup will take place over
    three years, from 2010-2012, and will act as an additional route
    through which National Federations will be able to qualify Beach
    Volleyball teams for the 2012 Olympics.




    This competition, which was approved by the FIVB Board of Administration
    in April 2009, will be a complementary competition to the current
    SWATCH FIVB World Tour and SWATCH FIVB World Championships, with the
    number of countries involved expected to jump from around 120 at present
    to over 150.




    The ambitious project is meant to be a catalyst to develop the game
    globally and is part of ongoing initiatives at the FIVB to provide its
    Confederations and National Federations with greater opportunities to
    become more involved in Beach Volleyball and Volleyball operations.
