For the fourth time in a row, Mexico swings open its doors – and in this case, lays out a welcoming expanse of sand – for the NORCECA Olympic Beach Volleyball Qualifying Tournament. From June 19th through the 24th, the state of Tlaxcala plays host to an elite showdown where the best duos from North and Central America and the Caribbean will dig, spike, and hustle their way towards a single prize: a spot in Paris 2024.

This ain't Tlaxcala's first rodeo with world-class beach volleyball. In 2022, the state put on the ritz for the Challenge Tlaxcala. Then, in what can only be described as a move worthy of a top-seeded player, Tlaxcala hosted the Beach Volleyball World Championship. Locals turned out in droves, proving that beach volleyball fever is officially raging in the most unlikely of places.
