The FIVB has selected three Asian teams (Qatar, Australia and Kazakhstan) to represent the continent in the Beach Volleyball World Championship to be held in Netherlands in June, 2015.
Qatar beach volleyball team occupied the second place overall behind Kazakhstan and ahead to Australia according to the FIVB rankings issued last year.
The FIVB Beach Volleyball World Championships are a highlight on the FIVB SWATCH World Tour. Having started as a men’s only event from 1987 to 1991, the first edition in its current double-gender format was in 1997 and since then has become the most prestigious beach volleyball event, held every two years, outside of the Olympic Games.
