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.

Raul Mesa

Raul Mesa, a former Olympian and one of Spain’s most respected beach volleyball figures. With years of international experience and a deep understanding of the game, Raul has created a training environment that combines high performance with a passion for growth. His leadership and vision have turned the Volley Club Poniente for beach volleyball in Spain, making it the ideal setting for hosting world-class events like IVVA 2025.

Adam Kubala

Adam Kubala, CEO of IVVA, will once again lead the organization of the IVVA World Championship—this time in Benidorm, Spain, in October 2025. With a clear mission to unite veteran volleyball athletes from around the world, Adam brings unmatched dedication and experience to the event. Under his leadership, IVVA continues to grow, providing not only competitive opportunities but also a vibrant holiday atmosphere that celebrates the spirit of volleyball. Benidorm, with its beachfront courts and walkable city center, is set to host an unforgettable edition of the championship.
