From 22 to 26 October 2025, the world’s top beach volleyball stars will hit Cape Town’s shores for a high-energy showdown on the iconic white sands of Camps Bay.

For the first time ever, the Beach Pro Tour rolls into South Africa, bringing world-class action to one of the most stunning coastal settings on the planet.

With Table Mountain and the Atlantic Ocean as a jaw-dropping backdrop, Camps Bay will turn into a vibrant beach arena as 96 elite athletes from 48 nations battle it out in one of the most anticipated stops on the global tour. Expect fast-paced matches, beach vibes, live DJs, local food stalls, and a festival-style atmosphere that captures the heart of Cape Town’s cultural flair.

The Beach Pro Tour, run by Volleyball World and the FIVB, is the sport’s top-tier international circuit for men’s and women’s teams. A win here is a major milestone—right up there with the Olympics and World Championships.

Fans can look forward to edge-of-the-sand competition, family-friendly fun, and an unforgettable beach sports experience as Cape Town steps into the global spotlight.

Cape Town set for global spotlight as Beach Pro Tour nears

With just weeks to go until this world-class event hits South African shores, Anthony Makoena, President of Volleyball South Africa, shared his excitement:

“We are thrilled to bring the Beach ProTour back to South Africa. Camps Bay is one of the most spectacular locations in the world to host a tournament of this calibre, and we look forward to welcoming fans, athletes, and partners to an unforgettable week of beach sport and culture,” he said.

The upcoming event is also a major win for the City of Cape Town, with live broadcasts set to beam the action from Camps Bay to millions of viewers across the globe. With a global audience of 480 million, volleyball stands as one of the most-watched sports worldwide — and was, in fact, the most-viewed event of the 2016 Rio Olympic Games. Hosting the Beach Pro Tour not only brings elite sport to local fans but also puts Cape Town on the international stage, showcasing its world-class scenery, hospitality, and event capabilities.

Telkom powers connection and community as headline sponsor of Beach Pro Tour

As the headline sponsor of the Beach Pro Tour in Cape Town, Telkom is proud to play a key role in bringing this global sporting spectacle to South Africa. Gugu Mthembu, Chief Marketing Officer at Telkom, shared her thoughts on the partnership:

“At Telkom, we believe in creating and supporting platforms where possibility begins, whether through technology, culture, or sport. As the headline sponsor of the Beach ProTour in Cape Town, we are proud to celebrate more than world-class volleyball, this is about uniting communities, showcasing South Africa’s incredible talent and energy, and inspiring the next generation to dream bigger. Just like the athletes’ pushing boundaries on the sand, we want South Africans to feel empowered to unlock their own potential. Together, let’s turn on summer, celebrate connection, and create magic on the shores of Camps Bay,” she said.
