Pentangle Promotions Co., Ltd will hold an FIVB women’s international beach volleyball tournament for the 14th successive year with the announcement that the company will stage an FIVB Beach Volleyball Challenger tournament in Pattaya from 5 – 9 November this year.
The World Tour tournament was cancelled earlier this year as the traditional venue on Karon Beach, Phuket is being used for the Asian Beach Games, which are being held during the same time period. However a new venue has been found in Central Pattaya to stage a US$50,000 FIVB Challenger tournament, which sees the return of International beach volleyball to the popular beach resort after a break of 10 years.
The event will see teams from Asia, Australasia and Europe competing against the top Thai teams for the US$11,000 winner’s purse and 160 FIVB World ranking points. All main draw matches on the 2,000 seat centre court are to be televised on CTH TV Sport Spirit channel and in addition to the action on-court an activity zone will be set-up at the venue to provide entertainment and booth space for the tournament sponsors.
The FIVB Beach Volleyball Challenger is being organized in conjunction with the Federation Internationale de Volleyball, the Thailand Volleyball Association and Sportmaster Co., Ltd.
