Tokyo 2020
The Games of the XXXII Olympiad, Tokyo 2020, is scheduled to be held from 23 July to 8 August 2021.
Tokyo won the right to host the 2020 Olympic Games at the International Olympic Committee's 125th Session in Buenos Aires in 2013, the Japanese city's bid beating the other two candidates of Istanbul and Madrid.
It is the second time that Tokyo gets to host the Olympic Games, after 1964 when volleyball was introduced to the Olympic Program for the first time.
Beach Volleyball
The beach volleyball competition of the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games will consist of men's and women's tournaments featuring a total of 24 teams per gender.
The Beach Volleyball competition will be held at a 12,000-capacity custom-built temporary stadium in the Japanese capital's magnificent Shiokaze Park.
With nearly 13,000 trees and thousands of other plants, Shiokaze Park is the largest park on the Tokyo waterfront area of Odaiba. Shiokaze Park affords exquisite views of Tokyo's iconic Rainbow Bridge and the beautiful Tokyo Bay.
