How to get there

It gives us great pleasure to reveal that the city of Hamburg will be the location for the FIVB Beach Volleyball World Championships 2019 presented by comdirect & ALDI Nord.

Following the unprecedented success of the Hamburg Major and the World Tour Finals – where record crowds raised the roof of the legendary Rothenbaum Stadium – the world’s best players will once again go head-to-head in Hamburg as they battle for the right to be crowned World Champion between 28th June and the 7th July.

It will be yet another stunning days of action on the sand, played in front of a crowd crazy for beach volleyball.

In addition to Hamburg’s main rail stations, ICE trains call at Lüneburg and Uelzen, and IC/EC services at various other places in the metropolitan region.
