BEACH SPORTS
The European Universities Championship in Beach Sports
consists of two sports: Beach Volleyball and Beach
Handball. In the history of the European Universities
Championships, the presence of these two sports dates
from different time periods. Beach Volleyball was put on the
sports program of the European Universities Championships
firstly in 2004, with the first edition of Beach Volleyball
being organized in Klagenfurt, Austria from 16-19 of June.
Since then up to 2019, Beach Volleyball was the only
beach sport involved. In 2019, Beach Handball had its own
separate European Universities Championship organized
for the first time. It took place in Zagreb, Croatia in July.
In 2023, was the first time when these two sports
were merged and formed one European Universities
Championship in Beach Sports, organized in
Malaga, Spain from 19-24 of September.
