The Dominican Republic is competing in the Beach Volleyball World Championships for the first time. The top 12 women’s and 12 men’s pools for the first phase of the FIVB Beach Volleyball World Championships Rome 2022 were announced this week.
The 13th edition of the World Championships is to be played at the Foro Italico in Rome.
Jubilet Payano and Jineiry Rosario represent the DR in the event that will take place in Rome, from 7 to 20 June 2022. The Dominican duo is ranked 42nd of 48 participating countries. The DR will play in Pool G of the preliminary phase against Brazil, United States and Finland.
Payano and Rosario qualified when they won the bronze medal in the April 2022 qualifying tournament in the Macao, Punta Cana event in the Dominican Republic.
The 48 teams are distributed into 12 round-robin pools of four duos each. At the end of the pool phase, the top two teams in each pool and the best four third-placed pairs will advance to the elimination rounds. The remaining eight teams that rank third in their pools will play a four-match lucky-loser round to complete the 32 teams in the knockout bracket. The entire tournament, in both genders, will feature 216 matches across 10 days of competition.
