The FIVB updates beach volleyball schedule after the evaluation of international tournaments due to the pandemic. The organization has been monitoring the global health situation. They discussed with National Federations and organizers before revising the beach volleyball calendar.
According to volleyball betting reports, the FIVB prioritizes the safety and well-being of all players, fans, and officials. The volleyball governing body and event organizers agreed to the changes made to the schedule.
The FIVB moved the Under 19 Beach Volleyball World Championships set for November 10 to 15 to March 24 to 28, 2021. Also, the FIVB canceled the several events scheduled in 2020, including the 4-star event in China and a 2-star event in Cyprus.
FIVB Updates Beach Volleyball Schedule
According to a sports betting forum, the age limit for the Under 19 tournament will remain the same as if it was for a 2020 tournament. Thus, players must be born on January 1, 2002. The volleyball governing body will announce further changes to the schedule later this year.
Based on sports betting odds sites, the FIVB is optimistic about the return of beach volleyball. Several events were held in Europe recently. However, the organization will continue to assess the situation across the planet. Also, they will consider international travel restrictions, policies, and health and safety protocols.
The FIVB froze its Ranking System since March 16, 2020. Also, it will investigate access to competitions before approving them. The situation is evolving every day. It hopes to resume the Ranking System soon.
The FIVB will restart the Ranking System once qualified participants gain access to tournaments. Also, it will check the event regulations of the events. Also, the governing body issued guidelines to help National Federations and Continental Confederations create a safe environment for beach volleyball activities. However, the resumption of tournaments depends on the rules of local government authorities.
