About the event

The World School Volleyball Championship (WSC) has been an integral part of the ISF calendar since the Federation’s foundation back in 1972.

Celebrating its 26th edition this year, WSC Volleyball will arrive in Foz do Iguaçu, Brazil this year, having previously been held in 2018 in the city of Brno, Czech Republic. 

Foz do Iguaçu, a city in the Brazilian state of Paraná, is the main base for visiting famed Iguaçu Falls, one of the world’s largest waterfalls.

The Iguaçu Falls located on the border of Argentina and Brazil and consisting of approximately 257 individual waterfalls over 2.7 km were chosen as one of the “New Natural Seven Wonders of the World”.

The city is characterised by tourism and cultural diversity. There are about 80 nationalities, being the most represented by Italy, Portugal, Lebanon, China, Paraguay, and Argentina. Foz do Iguaçu is integrated into a tri-national region, bordering the Argentine city of Puerto Iguazú and the Paraguayan city of Ciudad del Este.

Foz do Iguaçu hosted an edition of the Summer X Games in 2013. The X Games are an annual extreme sports event organized, produced, and broadcast by ESPN. Coverage is also shown on ESPN’s sister network, ABC. The inaugural X Games were held during the summer of 1995 in Providence and Newport, Rhode Island, United States. Competitions for the X Games include BMX, Moto Cross, Skateboarding, as well as several E-Sport Disciplines.
