Brazil’s Fabio Luiz, silver medalist at the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing and World champion back in 2005 together with former partner Marcio Araujo, is expected to be the main attraction of the CEV Satellite tournament that will run in Lausanne through next July 15-18. The Brazilian star indeed received a wild-card from CEV and will compete there pairing Bruno de Paula for the delight of hundreds of die-hard Beach Volleyball fans.
The event traditionally held in Lausanne is actually the “oldest” among the many Satellite tournaments being currently organized across the five Continental Confederations whom – starting from the 2009 season – FIVB transferred the responsibility and authority to stage such competitions.
The 21st edition of the Satellite tournament in Lausanne will take place in a very prestigious and fascinating location, namely the Place de la Navigation, which stands out as the real “heart” of that well-known and very sport-oriented Swiss city. A total of 34 teams registered for the event to represent 17 different countries, from Sweden to Portugal, plus Belgium, Switzerland and many more.
On the other hand, the traditional exhibition matches featuring some of the very best female Beach Volleyball duos have been cancelled since this year the organizers were struggling in trying to find an adequate number of truly competitive teams.
The kick-off of the Satellite will be celebrated on Thursday, July 15, in Bellerive where two more courts will be prepared and installed to host the matches of the Qualification as well as the first rounds of the Main Draw before finally moving to the Place de la Navigation for the last and most exciting stages of the competition.
