FACT SHEET – $50,000 FIVB Sydney Two-Star Sydney, Australia, March 17-19, 2017

· Updated on March 12, 2017, this fact sheet provides information on the Fédération Internationale de Volleyball and the 2017 FIVB Beach Volleyball calendar. The 2017 FIVB Beach Volleyball World Tour schedule features a new starred classification of its events, with four Five-Star events, three of which are the Swatch Major Series, three Four-Star events, six Three-Star events, four Two-Star events, and seven One-Star events, along with the FIVB Beach Volleyball World Championships, the Swatch FIVB Beach Volleyball World Tour Finals, and one FIVB Age Group World Championships. The 2017 schedule began in February in the United States and concludes in October in Thailand. 2017 marks the 31st anniversary of the first FIVB Beach Volleyball event held February 17-22, 1987 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Two events played in 2017; Qinzhou, China and Phuket Thailand will be part of the 2018 FIVB World Tour.

· The women’s $50,000 FIVB Sydney Two-Star is the third women’s event on the 2017 FIVB Beach Volleyball calendar and the first of the Two-Star rated events. The FIVB visits Australia second time this season and the ninth time overall. Sydney hosted the first men’s event in 1991 and the first women’s event in 1995. For more information regarding the FIVB Beach Volleyball World Tour, please visit fivb.org.

· March 17-19, Sydney, Australia, Women, $50,000 – Australia has hosted two previous men’s-only events, two previous women’s-only events, and four double-gender events including the 2000 Olympic Games on Bondi Beach in Sydney and the 2001 Goodwill Games in Brisbane. Following the 2001 Goodwill Games, Adelaide hosted a double-gender open in 2008, the last event before this season. The double-gender Shepparton One-Star was held two weeks ago in Shepparton.
