The event will take place at the Beach Arena (Office 5 in Sabbiadoro) and marks the official kickoff of the 2025 Sand Basket national tour. Teams will compete in three categories: Mini, Under, and Senior, with registrations open to everyone – from young players to experienced athletes.

The Friuli Venezia Giulia edition will welcome around 200 athletes from all over Italy, eager to compete for the National Stage FVG title, which grants access to the prestigious National Finals.

It will be a day of sport, entertainment, and energy on the sand: with thrilling matches, acrobatic dives, and a vibrant community atmosphere, the Beach Arena will turn into a true arena of excitement.
