World ParaVolley is actively seeking to develop the international events calendar. An open bid process will be held in late 2022 to determine host cities for events taking place from 2023 through 2028 in both Sitting Volleyball and Beach ParaVolley. This process is expected to take time meaning events will be listed as they are awarded (approved by the WPV Board of Directors).
Please note: Best efforts will be made to update events here to help Member Federations plan their competition calendars (exact event details will be communicated on specific event pages or through the Technical Delegates assigned). This list is not complete, and may be subject to revision as additional details emerge or new events are created. Specific details for events may change if they occur in later years.
To add a missing event, for questions about any event, or to participate in the open bid process, please contact the Sport Department: sportdirector@worldparavolley.org (Stephen Giugni). *updated February 2023
