Swatch Major Series – beach volleyball at the next level!

Beach volleyball is finally back in Stavanger! And it’ll be bigger, more exciting and more fun than ever.

In its very first year, the Swatch Major Series is a hit right out of the starting gate. The very best in the world are taking part in the new series, where the prize money is big and Olympic qualifying points are on the line! From the series kickoff in Porec, Croatia on June 2–7, the tournament blasts over to our own host city of Stavanger June 9 –14 before flying up to the alpine village of Gstaad, Switzerland July 7– 12. It all winds up with a bang in America's own version of Venice, Fort Lauderdale, at the Swatch Beach Volleyball FIVB World Tour Final September 29 through  October 4.

New format

The World Tour Final in Fort Lauderdale will bring together the top 10 teams in the world for the most exclusive competition of the year. They play on a single court throughout the tournament, with undivided audience attention and  one competitive focus: Win the all-time high prize money of 100.000USD (around 800.000NOK). In addition, the Swatch Beach Volleyball Major Series is part of the FIVB World Tour and serves as part of qualifying for the 2016 Olympics, where matches will be played right on Rio’s Copacabana Beach! It’s easy to understand how much this means to both players and fans.
