Federation Internationale de Volleyball (FIVB) is the international governing body for the sports of indoor, beach and grass volleyball and also a global governing body for the Olympic Sports of Volleyball. The new World Tour five-star structure is in place for the FIVB Beach Volleyball World Tour between 2017 and 2020, to modernize and streamline its competitions as it looks to enter into a golden period for volleyball on the back of the Rio 2016 Olympic Games and on the “road to Tokyo 2020”.
This will see all events on the tour assigned a star rating between one and five as the International Volleyball Federation continues to reform its competitions, delivering the best possible events for its athletes, fans and sponsors. The calendar for the FIVB Beach Volleyball World Tour 2018 1-Star tournament kicked-off in Australia on February 2018, and will move on to Oman, Netherlands, Malaysia, Philippines, Vietnam, Thailand, Brazil, Monaco, Turkey, Korea & India.
