Why Prague?

Prague, the enchanting capital of the Czech Republic, stands as one of Europe’s most captivating destinations and the perfect setting for the IVVA European Veteran Volleyball Championship 2026. This historic city, with its stunning Gothic and Baroque architecture, offers an extraordinary backdrop where centuries-old charm meets modern sporting excellence. The city’s world-renowned venues and infrastructure provide exceptional facilities for both indoor and beach volleyball competitions.

Join us in May 2026 and experience volleyball at its finest—where historic elegance meets world-class competition, creating memories that will last a lifetime. Prague doesn’t just host tournaments; it creates legends.

Přemek Kubala

Prague 2026 is going to be something truly special. For me, hosting the next IVVA event here has a deep meaning — the Czech Republic has a rich volleyball tradition, and Prague is the perfect place where history and sporting energy come together.

Everyone who comes will experience not only top-level competition but also a city full of life, culture, and hospitality. I can’t wait to see the atmosphere we’ll create together — one that people will remember for years to come.

I believe Prague will take IVVA to the next level — and that new volleyball legends will be born right here.
