Footvolley, Footvolley

Footvolley may have started in Rio de Janeiro; but cities like Recife, Salvador, Santos, and Florianopolis have players who have been playing footvolley since the 1970s.

Promoters of footvolley see a sport that is inexpensive, addicting to play, and exciting to watch, and that they say has the potential to become the most played beach sport in the world.

The tournament was organized by the UK Footvolley Association and Yellowave Beach Sports. In the final game, Brazilian players Andre & Guilherme defeated Dirceu & Chris.

It was the first major international Footvolley event hosted in UK soil and 16 teams from 8 countries competed.

In April 2006 the England Team accompanied football legends John Barnes and Niall Quinn to a tournament in Pattaya, Thailand organized by the Thai Footvolley Federation.
