Tickets for the Great Ocean Road Beach Volleyfest are now on sale.
The event, which includes the Volleyball World Beach Pro Tour, is headed to Torquay for 11 days of beach volleyball action from November 23 to December 4 and will feature some of the world’s best.
Australians will be the ones to beat in the Women’s Elite16 competition – the highest level event on the Beach Pro Tour. Olympic and Commonwealth Games silver medalists Taliqua Clancy and Mariafe Artacho del Solar are the top seed and will face tough competition from Germany and the U.S.A in particular, with three American pairs seeded in the top five.
Australian fans will have the unique opportunity to watch in action reigning men’s world champions, with Norwegian Olympic gold medallists Anders Mol and Christian Sorum taking the top seed in the Men’s Elite16 competition.
Home grown talent will be headlined by 2022 Commonwealth Games gold medalists Chris McHugh and Paul Burnett, seeded at four, with the pairs of Thomas Hodges/Zachery Schubert and Izac Carracher/Marc Nicolaidis also seeded at 10 and 11 respectively.
For McHugh, dual Commonwealth Games and Olympic Games representative, it will be the first opportunity to play on home soil since winning the gold in Birmingham.
“It’s our first time playing on the Surf Coast and leading into the 2026 Commonwealth Games it’s going to be a phenomenal time for the sport, but also the Torquay community,” he said.
