Doha, Qatar: Aspire Zone Foundation will host Queen and King of the Court 2024 Beach Volleyball Finals at Aspire Park, from tomorrow until December 14.
For the fourth time in a row, the most famous international beach volleyball event in the world will bring together the best players from around the world.
Over the course of 2024, the best players from around the world fought extreme competition across multiple rounds, earning points in each round for the series. The competitions began on the Spanish island of Tenerife in February, followed by the second round, which was held in Hamburg, Germany, from May 30 to June 2.
Then came the third round, which was hosted by the Dutch city of Utrecht in September, followed by the fourth round, which took place in Miami Beach in September, heading for the series finale in Doha. The top five teams in each category (men and women) qualify directly through their world rankings, while wildcards will be awarded to the remaining teams from the best rankings. This system ensures the participation of the best players in the world and increases the excitement of the competitions in the finals.
In the men’s category, the world ranking is led by the German team duo Nils Ehlers and Clemens Wickler, who won silver at the 2024 Paris Olympics and won many titles in the Doha, Hamburg and Luxembourg rounds.
However, the competition will be intense with the English team duo consisting of the brothers Javier Bello and Joaquin Bello, who won the bronze medal in the Doha finals last year, making the competition for the title open.
Last year’s Doha tournament was held in January 2023, with Sweden’s David Ahman and Jonatan Hellvig winning the men’s title.
In the women’s category, the title went to the Dutch duo Bersma and Bhuis.
