The sport

Footvolley is a new sport where the technique, strength, agility, accuracy and team spirit are key attributes in this spectacular sport.
It is performed in a beautiful natural environment - the beach.
There is a major transfer between soccer and footvolley, that’s why there are so many ex-football players practicing the sport.
Footvolley is here to stay!

History

The first game of footvolley was played about 50 years ago at Copacabana beach in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil (although not everybody agrees on this). They say footvolley was created by Octavio de Moraes in 1965. They played football on a beach volleyball court because they were not allowed to play football near the beach. In the 1970s other Brazilian cities like Recife, Salvador, Brasília and many more hosted footvolley games. Some Brazilian football players who still play are Romario, Ronaldinho and Ronaldo.
In the 1980s footvolley arrived in Europe via Portugal. A Portuguese immigrant Mr. Julião Neto returned from Brazil and introduced the sport to the local youth. In the next years several football players started competing and footvolley was spread all over Europe.
We can safely say that footvolley is born from football and samba. Since 2000 the sport gained a lot of popularity in Europe and Asia.
