The next beach volleyball world championships, originally scheduled for Rome in summer 2021, has been postponed to June 2022 in the Italian capital.
The move was made in light of the Tokyo Olympics postponement to July-August 2021, and in respect of the international sports calendar and agenda, Italian Olympic Committee president Giovanni Malago said in a press release.
Beach volleyball worlds have been held officially in odd years dating to 1997. The first worlds were held in Los Angeles. European nations hosted the last eight editions, including in Hamburg, Germany, last year.
