This is where the unforgettable FIVB World Championships were played in 2013. Prestigious World Tour and Beach Pro Tour Challenge tournaments have also been held here. Today, after years of experience, organizational success, and tens of thousands of fans in the stands, Stare Jabłonki will once again become the arena for beach volleyball excitement at the highest European level.
“It is a huge honour and a great joy for us that the European Championships will come to Stare Jabłonki. Joy and smiles are definitely present, but today I am also filled with a lot of emotion. This is the culmination of many years of work, experience, and passion that we have invested in the development of beach volleyball in Poland. I am already looking forward to the coming months of preparation, when we will be working to make the European Championships truly exceptional.”
