FIVB Beach Volleyball World Tour heading to Iran for the first time
One of several new venues on the 2015/2016 FIVB Beach Volleyball World Tour calendar, Iran’s Kish Island will host the men’s only FIVB Kish Island Open, to be held February 15-19. It will mark the first time an FIVB World Tour event will have been held in the Persian Gulf nation.
The 2015/2016 FIVB Beach Volleyball World Tour calendar began with three Open events at the end of 2015. The remainder of the calendar - following the Kish Island Open - will include a further ten FIVB Opens, five FIVB Grand Slam events along with three Swatch FIVB Major Series stops, and the second Swatch FIVB World Tour Finals. The highlights of the calendar will also include the beach volleyball tournament at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games in Brazil.
The 2015/2016 FIVB World Tour schedule lists only one other single-gender event with the men scheduled to return to Doha, Qatar (April 4-8), where they also ended the 2015 portion of the 2015/2016 schedule with a FIVB Open event last November 9-13.
