Czech teams reign supreme at first-ever MEVZA Beach Volleyball Club Championship
News
Teams from five nations (Austria, Croatia, Czechia, Hungary, and Slovakia) contested this weekend the inaugural edition of the MEVZA Men’s Beach Volleyball Club Championship. The tournament was played in Vienna at the MAXX Sports Centre, the venue used by Austria’s Beach Volleyball national teams to train indoors.
The Beach Service Club from Czechia prevailed as they edged their compatriots Beachclub Strahov in an all-Czech final. The home favourites from Klagenfurt claimed third place and with it, the last spot on the podium.
MEVZA President Valentina Bifflin, MEVZA Sports Director Frane Žanić and Austrian Volleyball Federation (ÖVV) President Gernot Leitner presented the medals and trophies to the winners of the competition.
The organisers wish to thank the sponsors, partners, and volunteers for their support and the players for delivering a great tournament.
