Karpacz, Poland, to Host European U20 Snow Volleyball Championship

Karpacz, Poland, is set to host the second U20 CEV continental Snow Volleyball Championship from March 7-9. This marks a significant milestone as it will be the first international competition for this exciting and relatively new version of volleyball held in Poland. The choice of Poland as the host nation is fitting, given the country`s impressive performance last year in Bakuriani, Georgia, where their men`s team secured gold and the women`s team earned silver, narrowly losing to Czechia in the final.

Its unique allure and lively atmosphere make it an ideal venue for this landmark event, bringing together Europe`s emerging talents in Snow Volleyball.
