← Back

 



The legendary Rochusclub in Düsseldorf will transform into the epicenter of European beach volleyball from July 30 to August 3, 2025. CEV EuroBeachVolley 2025 will welcome the continent's absolute elite - Olympic champions, world champions, and defending European titleholders. The iconic tennis stadium, now hosting volleyball stars, will become the venue for the battle for the European beach volleyball crown with the tournament draw already known, promising incredible clashes from the opening day.

Men's Elite: World Champions in Direct Confrontation

The men's section of the tournament offers a fascinating concentration of world stars, where the highest level of beach volleyball presents itself in full glory. David Åhman and Jonatan Hellvig from Sweden enter the tournament as main title favorites. The defending Olympic gold medalists from Paris 2024 and two-time European champions (2022, 2023) represent the current pinnacle of world beach volleyball.

Anders Mol and Christian Sørum from Norway bring rich experience from top tournaments. The Olympic champions from Tokyo 2020 and 2022 world champions hold a record four consecutive European titles (2018-2021). As the top-seeded pair according to the current rankings, they represent the biggest threat to the Swedish defenders.

Czech hopes rest with the duo Ondřej Perušič and David Schweiner, reigning world champions who consistently deliver performances at the highest level. Their participation adds additional prestige to the tournament and gives domestic fans reason for excitement.

Home heroes Nils Ehlers and Clemens Wickler will have the advantage of German fan support. The silver Olympic medalists from Paris 2024 represent strong medal candidates, especially with knowledge of local conditions.

The field is completed by sensational 2024 European champions Martins Plavins with Kristians Fokerots from Latvia, experienced Spanish pair Adrian Gavira with Alejandro Huerta, where Gavira competes in his 14th consecutive EuroBeachVolley, and Dutch duo Alexander Brouwer with Steven van de Velde, where Brouwer is a former world champion.

Women's Competition: Defenders Against Challengers

The women's section of the tournament promises an equally exciting spectacle with a wide spectrum of medal candidates. Cinja Tillmann and Svenja Müller from Germany enter as defending champions from 2024. The home favorites will have the advantage of venue knowledge and local fan support, which could provide them with crucial psychological advantage.

Tina Graudina with Anastasija Samoilova from Latvia represent two-time European champions (2019, 2022) with consistent performances at the highest level. Their experience from major tournaments and proven quality make them among the main favorites.

The top-seeded pair according to rankings consists of Valentina Gottardi with Reka Orsi Toth from Italy. Gottardi won silver in 2024 with former partner Marta Menegatti, documenting her ability to succeed at the highest level. The Italian stars aim for gold medal.

An interesting element will be the performance of Swiss players, where Tanja Hüberli and Anouk Vergé-Dépré, both former European champions, compete with new partners. Their adaptation to new collaborations will be a key factor for Swiss medal hopes.

The Netherlands arrives with three pairs with medal ambitions, documenting the strength and depth of their beach volleyball scene.

Tournament Format and Organization

EuroBeachVolley 2025 maintains the proven format with 32 teams in each category. Eight groups of four teams ensure that the top two teams from each group advance to the knockout phase, guaranteeing high competitiveness from the opening matches.

The seeding reflects the current strength of European beach volleyball. Seven top teams according to rankings plus the highest-placed home team form the group top seeds, ensuring fair distribution and attractive clashes in all tournament phases.

The men's category represents 16 countries with the highest representation from Germany (6 teams), followed by the Netherlands and Switzerland (3 teams each). The women's category includes 14 countries with German dominance (7 teams), followed by Lithuania, Netherlands, and Ukraine (3 teams each).

Rochusclub: Tennis Legend as Beach Venue

DE BRUYNE'S FAREWELL TO ETIHAD FACES CHERRIES' ROAD INVINCIBILITY

Image
  May 20, 2025   Manchester City - AFC Bournemouth   Etihad Stadium, Manchester On Tuesday, May 20, 2025, Manchester City will face AFC Bournemouth in the 37th round of the Premier League. The match offers a likely farewell of the home star Kevin De Bruyne to Etihad Stadium against a team with excellent away form. Manchester City have won all seven of their Premier League home games against Bournemouth – only Arsenal (10 vs Stoke) and Manchester United (8 vs Wigan) have a better 100% home win rate against an opponent in the competition. The Citizens thus represent an insurmountable obstacle for the Cherries at their own ground. Bournemouth won the reverse fixture against Man City 2-1 in November, having been winless in their first 20 league meetings with the Citizens beforehand (D2 L18). The South England side thus achieved a historic success this season. Manchester City have won their final home league game in 10 of the last 11 seasons (D1), including each of the la...

Marks Could Be the Next Irving: NFL Draft 2025 Late-Round Gems

Image
  Bucky Irving proved last year that the fourth round can hide future stars. His 1,122 rushing yards and eight touchdowns made him the most productive rookie runner in the NFL. Now the search continues - which of this year's late picks will repeat similar success? The pattern is clear. Irving followed the path of Isiah Pacheco, Kansas City's seventh-round gem from 2022. Both had one thing in common - they weren't college superstars with astronomical numbers, but they proved efficiency and ability to maximize opportunities. Among this year's candidates, Marks from USC stands out most, selected by Houston in the fourth round. His transformation is remarkable - four years at Mississippi State never exceeded 600 yards per season, but a single season at USC brought 1,133 yards with impressive 6.8 yards per carry. Marks has an ideal situation for immediate impact. Joe Mixon ahead of him has injury history and Houston under new coordinator Nick Caley is looking for fresh b...
