Qatar has a strong history in the sport, particularly beach volleyball. Qatar’s Cherif Younousse and Ahmed Tijan claimed bronze for Qatar at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020. Doha also regularly hosts the Beach Pro Tour, and has also successfully hosted the historic 2024 WAVA U20 Women’s Beach Volleyball Championship this week. This event was the first-ever junior female beach volleyball event in the Middle East, supported by Olympic Solidarity.

President Azevedo was in Doha this week for a number of volleyball initiatives delivered in partnership with the Qatar Olympic Committee, Qatar Foundation, Qatar Volleyball Association (QVA) and FIVB Volleyball Foundation.
