Dominance in

the sand

Brazilian beach volleyball is on the most traditional of the world.

In the first international challenges of the sport, which were

played in the famous Ipanema Beach in the 80’s, Brazilian and

American played amazing duels for the world’s sands

dominance.

The result of the equilibrium was clear in the first edition of the

Olympic Games that had Beach Volleyball in the program as in

Atlanta/1996 Brazil won the gold medal of the female

tournament while American men won the male competition.

In the 90’s, Brazil took the international lead, figuring constantly

in the highest spot of the podium in the World Tour. In 20 years

of the double gender competition, Brazil won it 26 times – 13

with male teams and 13 with female pairs.

The way to the international success is in the country’s sands.

Played since 1991, Banco do Brasil´s Tour is the strongest

national championship of the world and reunites Brazilian top

teams, as well as some foreign pairs, in tournaments that

happen s in several states of the country.

Looking forward to develop new talents, CBV promotes annually

the U-21 Banco do Brasil Tour and the States Banco do Brasil

Tour, tournament created in 2009 and that is held in each of the

27 states of the country, assuring opportunities for all athletes in

the country.
