Beach volleyball highlight in Baden: World stars fight for gold!

In 2005, the team around Dominik Gschiegl began with a small beach volleyball tournament in the Baden lido, and now, 20 years later, this tournament is lifted to a new high level. As a "FIVB World Beach Pro Tour Challenge" it is now said that the world's best teams from Europe, the USA and Asia will fight for the title from August 6 to 10, 2025. This appreciation is the result of years of negotiations between the organizer HSG event and the associations of the international volleyball community, as orf reported.

"We have worked for this big event for a long time and the preparations are in full swing," says Gschiegl, pleased about the success. In addition to Olympic champions, the Austrian national team will also fight for valuable world ranking points, which is particularly important for the World Cup qualification in November. The Baden location was selected in the past due to its constant performance. HSG partner Nicolas Hold assures: "The fans can look forward to a spectacular stadium setting in the lido." This revision can also be seen through the support of the Ministry of Sports and regional sponsors who have created the necessary conditions for the organization of such an event.
