       A new Futures tournament in Marica, Brazil, has been added to the 2024
       Beach Pro Tour calendar.
        
       Marica is a new destination on the international beach volleyball
       calendar. Located on the coast of the Atlantic Ocean, just east of the
       city of Rio de Janeiro, its beachside venue will host a world-level
       tournament for the first time. The Brazilian Volleyball Federation
       will welcome the Beach Pro Tour there from December 5 to 8.
        
       Additionally, the Beach Pro Tour Futures event planned in Negombo, Sri
       Lanka for the second half of December is postponed to 2025 following
       the request of the country’s national federation, while the stop in
       Lille, France has been cancelled following an official communication
       from the French Volleyball Federation. Meanwhile, the prize money for
       the Futures event in Baden, Germany has now increased to EUR 7,500.
        
       After these changes, the Beach Pro Tour 2024 calendar features as many
       as 35 Futures events spread around the globe – in Asia, Africa,
       Europe and South America. For comparison, the inaugural Beach Pro Tour
       season in 2022 offered 26 Futures events, and in 2023 the number rose
       to 31.
