The 2025 FIVB Beach Volleyball World Championships in Australia will take place one year from now, from 14 to 23 November 2025 and the organizers begin the countdown by launching an exciting new look for the tournament and naming the first three Adelaide 2025 Ambassadors – Sydney 2000 Olympic gold medallist Kerri Pottharst, Tokyo 2020 Olympic silver medallist Mariafe Artacho del Solar and Paris 2024 Olympian and proud South Australian Zachery Schubert (pictured in the main photo).
Together, they represent over a quarter of a century of elite Australian beach volleyball experience with all three set to play a part in next year’s tournament either on or off the sand. For Pottharst, seeing the event come to her home town of Adelaide is something truly special.

For me personally, to still be involved as a commentator and now as an Ambassador for the 2025 Beach Volleyball World Championships is a real honour. Australia hosting this event will be an incredible opportunity not just for our athletes and broader sport, but also for the fans of Olympic sports. The younger athletes will have the opportunity to experience the highest level of competition in our sport, which is so often played in the northern hemisphere. This will be a fantastic stepping stone towards the 2032 Olympics. So many of our junior athletes are competing now and those that might be inspired to take up the sport following the World Championships, they could find themselves standing on court come 2032.”
