Press release
Dear fans, partners, sponsors, athletes and event staff,
After almost a quarter of a century of successful cooperation, our long-time main and title sponsor A1 has informed us that they will no longer be available as a partner for our beach volleyball engagement next year. This decision came to us unexpectedly and at very short notice, meaning that a significant portion of our budget for the planned event has been withdrawn.
Unfortunately, under these circumstances, we are unable to maintain the usual high quality of our event. Therefore, we are obligated to cancel the Multisport Event, including the Beach Volleyball Tournament, planned for the period from July 22 to 27, 2025, in Pörtschach and Velden, and to reschedule it for 2026.
However, we also see this break as an opportunity: We will use the time we have gained to establish new partnerships and to put our 2026 event on a solid and sustainable footing. As always, we will keep you updated on developments and progress.
'Goosebumps don't lie' - and they will be back.
A big thank you goes out to you, our fans, for the unbelievable run on the tickets. All tickets already purchased will be refunded. Information on the refund process will follow in the coming days.
Thank you for your understanding, your passion and your continued support.
See you @ the Beach – in 2026 at the latest!
Yours
Hannes Jagerhofer
