The International Veteran Volleyball Association (IVVA) invites players from across Europe and beyond to the fifth edition of the World Indoor Veteran Volleyball Championship scheduled for October 3-9 in Mallorca, Spain.

The event is open to five age categories, more specifically 40-47, 48-55, and 56+ for men – and 34-44 and 45+ for women. Next to the Volleyball competition, IVVA will deliver also the second edition of their Beach Volleyball Veteran Tournament, with four age groups available – 40-49 and 50+ for men and 34-44 and 45+ for women, respectively.
