During this induction period into the sport, the Saudi duo has featured in Zonal and Asian Volleyball Confederation (AVC) Tours playing against seniors, way beyond their age.<\/p>\n<p>The U18 World Championship is the first time they are playing against opponents of their age group and it\u2019s been a roller coaster ride so far. Ahmed and Hadi defied all odds to finish second in Pool H with 5 points and qualify for the elimination round. They only lost to pre-tournament favorites Thomas Mathias Endler &amp; Felippe Prudencio Arruda Barbiero of Brazil in the pool phase. Ahmed &amp; Hadi registered convincing 2-0 wins over Egypt\u2019s Mohamed Khaled Mohamed &amp; Abdelhamid Abdelfattah and Qatar\u2019s Jassim Mahmoud Al-Tamimi &amp; Saad Nasser Alawad to advance to the Round of 24 where they lost 2-0 (08-21, 11-21) to Venezuela\u2019s Gerardo Andres Bordones Hernandez &amp; Sebastian Alfredo Pereira Blanco on Friday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe feel privileged to have gotten this opportunity to play at the World Championship and face off with teams like Brazil. We knew it was going to be tough to play against one of the best teams in the competition (Brazil) but we are happy that we won against Qatar and Egypt to qualify for the elimination round,\u201d said a beaming Hadi.<\/p>\n<p><i><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-145589\" src=\"https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/GetImage-2-300x200.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/GetImage-2-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/GetImage-2-1024x682.webp 1024w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/GetImage-2-768x512.webp 768w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/GetImage-2-580x387.webp 580w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/GetImage-2-860x573.webp 860w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/GetImage-2-1160x773.webp 1160w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/GetImage-2-500x333.webp 500w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/GetImage-2-800x533.webp 800w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/GetImage-2-1280x853.webp 1280w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/GetImage-2.webp 1400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>Saudi Arabia\u2019s Hadi Aljorfi makes a pass during their match Pool H match against Brazil<\/i><\/p>\n<p>Like any other player, Ahmed and Hadi have had their fair share of challenges adapting to the sand having started out as indoor volleyball players. However, they\u2019ve had the rare privilege of working with elite Brazilian coach Vinicius Martins Giorni through this transition.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe transition has been smooth because we are now comfortable playing in the sand after a very short time. We want to specialize in beach volleyball because we enjoy it a lot and have a supportive coach. He has taught us a lot in this short period and given us freedom to express ourselves on the court without any pressure,\u201d Hadi spoke glowingly of Coach Giorni.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is just the beginning. We want to work hard and play in high level competitions in the future,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p><i><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-145590\" src=\"https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/GetImage2-1-300x200.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/GetImage2-1-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/GetImage2-1-1024x682.webp 1024w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/GetImage2-1-768x512.webp 768w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/GetImage2-1-580x387.webp 580w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/GetImage2-1-860x573.webp 860w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/GetImage2-1-1160x773.webp 1160w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/GetImage2-1-500x333.webp 500w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/GetImage2-1-800x533.webp 800w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/GetImage2-1-1280x853.webp 1280w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/GetImage2-1.webp 1400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>Saudi Arabia\u2019s Ahmed Mafouz (right) dives to make a save as his teammate Hadi Aljorfi looks on during their match Pool H match against Brazil<\/i><\/p>\n<p>The 45-year-old Giorni is in charge of Saudi Arabia\u2019s beach volleyball programme as part of a 12 months Coach Support project under the FIVB Volleyball Empowerment Programme worth USD 42,000. He was particularly impressed by his team\u2019s performance in the 2-0 (10-21, 11-21) loss to Pool H leaders Thomas &amp; Felippe of Brazil, one of only three boys\u2019 teams to end the pool phase unbeaten and without losing a set.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis competition is a huge experience for them. They have played beach volleyball for only five months against seniors and they managed to do well against Brazil. If you consider that these Brazilian players started playing beach volleyball at the age of 8 then you can only be only proud of them.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m happy because we\u2019ve started to create our own system. Our service reception and setting was good. We did a lot of mistakes in attack but it\u2019s encouraging to see that we now have a system. We managed to control the ball against a team that serves so well so it\u2019s an achievement,\u201d noted Giorni.<\/p>\n<p><i><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-145587\" src=\"https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/3-1-300x200.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/3-1-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/3-1-1024x682.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/3-1-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/3-1-580x387.jpeg 580w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/3-1-860x573.jpeg 860w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/3-1-1160x773.jpeg 1160w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/3-1-500x333.jpeg 500w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/3-1-800x533.jpeg 800w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/3-1.jpeg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>Brazilian coach Vinicius Martins Giorni is in charge of Saudi Arabia as part of the FIVB Volleyball Empowerment Programme<\/i><\/p>\n<p>Just five months into his new job, Giorni is convinced that Saudi Arabia is a sleeping beach volleyball giant if Ahmed and Hadi\u2019s steady improvement is anything to go by.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s a journey, we are just starting.
