Beach Volleyball brings together 32 teams at Santiago 2023

SANTIAGO, Chile, October 17, 2023 - The Beach Volleyball tournament at the Santiago 2023 Pan American Games to be held at the Beach Volleyball Center at Peñalolén Park from October 21 to 27 will bring together 32 teams, with 16 pairs per gender.

Teams will compete in a preliminary pool stage, with four groups of four teams in each gender.

The top teams in each pool will advance to the quarterfinals, while the second and third-placed teams will play in the round of 16 to determine the eight best teams in the tournament. From there on, semifinals and medal matches will be played.

Additionally, the teams that finish last in their group will compete for the 13th place, just as the losers in the round of 16 will vie for the 9th place, and those defeated in the quarterfinals will play for the fifth position.
