LAUSANNE, Switzerland, June 19, 2022 - The FIVB
and Volleyball World today announced Mexico will
host the next edition of the prestigious FIVB
Beach Volleyball World Championships across
multiple cities in the second half of 2023 as
the country adds to its impressive portfolio of
staging world-class beach volleyball events.
Mexico is part of beach volleyball history as it
became the first top-end destination to stage
the newly launched Volleyball World Beach Pro
Tour with the opening Challenge event taking
place in Tlaxcala and the Elite level beach
volleyball event in Rosarito. The two cities
provided a true celebration of beach volleyball.
Mexico boasts a highly knowledgeable and
passionate beach volleyball fanbase and with
country’s beach volleyball national team ranked
among the top 30 best teams in the men’s and
women’s Senior Rankings, Mexican fans have had
plenty of reason to cheer in recent years. There
is no doubt all beach volleyball fans will
witness amazing performances during the next
year’s FIVB Beach Volleyball World
Championships 2023.
Mexico’s Sports Minister Ana Guevara said:
“It is an honor for our country to be granted
the right to host the 2023 Beach Volleyball
World Championship and to establish a joint
long-term strategy for the development of
Mexican sport, hand in hand with FIVB and
Volleyball World.
“This event will definitely strengthen the
foundations for new generations of athletes and
will serve as a source of inspiration to make
sport a tool for the development of our country.
Welcome everyone to Mexico, the home of beach
volleyball.”
FIVB President Dr Ary S. Graça F° said:
“We are extremely pleased to bring the
highest-level beach volleyball competition, the
FIVB Beach Volleyball World Championships 2023,

Volleyball Federation and the vision of Minister
Guevara to develop sport, especially beach
volleyball, in the country.
“I am sure that the upcoming Beach Volleyball
World Championships will inspire the next
generation of players and fans across all of
Mexico. As part of the innovative programme of
Volleyball Empowerment aimed at supporting the
national teams around the globe, the FIVB will
continue to provide coaching support to the
Mexico’s beach volleyball teams on the road to
the World Championships.”
Volleyball World CEO Finn Taylor said:
“Mexico is one of the strongest partners for
Volleyball World and the FIVB and we are very
encouraged by the long-term vision of the
country’s sport leadership and their ambition to
bring more events to the country with the next
Beach Volleyball World Championships in 2023 and
beyond.”
“Mexico is a strong market in the Americas and
we are sure that together we can boost the
appeal of our sport in the country and attract
more people to this amazing destination. All the
beach volleyball events hosted in Mexico proved
to be extremely successful and we cannot wait to
return there for the World Championships.”
With the 2022 edition of the FIVB Beach
Volleyball World Championships culminating in
Rome, Italy the whole beach volleyball
community, including the athletes and fans, can
