Bariloche, Rio Negro will be the first time that an official FIVB Snow Volleyball event is staged outside of Europe.<\/p>\n<p>The growth of the Tour highlights the FIVB\u2019s mission to promote international inclusivity through volleyball. Snow volleyball allows for teams from warmer climates to compete in a winter sport and opens new audiences to play and watch volleyball. This is an important part of the FIVB\u2019s mission in developing the sport of volleyball all over the world. The first edition of the FIVB Snow Volleyball World Tour has seen teams from Africa and South America, including hosts Argentina, engage with the discipline.<\/p>\n<p>Teams from Austria, Russia, USA and Argentina have all made it to the podium so far, and it will up to the teams from Brazil, Cameroon, Japan, South Africa, Italy and Sweden to try and write their own names into the history books by securing a win on the Tour.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs we look to become the world\u2019s number one family sport, snow volleyball is another example of us opening up the sport to all,\u201d FIVB President Dr. Ary S. Gra\u00e7a F\u00b0 said. \u201cWe are seeing teams from all five of our Continental Confederations \u2013 this proves that there is an appetite for the discipline around the world.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn the previous two women\u2019s events, Argentina secured their first snow volleyball medals, and this is from a country that has never won an Olympic Winter Games medal. It would be great to see them get gold in front of a home crowd!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The final leg of the 2019 FIVB Snow Volleyball World Tour begins on August 2 in Bariloche, Argentina.
