Neder-Betuwe and Buren host team Italy during the Women’s Volleyball World Cup

During the Women’s Volleyball World Championship, which will take place from September 23 to October 15, 2022, the municipalities of Neder-Betuwe and Buren will host team Italy, the current European champion. The Italian team members stay in the municipality of Neder-Betuwe at Fruitpark Hotel & Spa and train at Healthclub Juliën in the municipality of Buren. The municipalities of Neder-Betuwe and Buren are calling on (sports) associations, local entrepreneurs, schools and other enthusiastic parties to organize activities around the Women’s Volleyball World Cup in the coming year.

Neder-Betuwe and Buren are part of 30 municipalities in Gelderland that host the teams from 24 countries on five continents. The Province of Gelderland facilitates accommodation, catering and transport for the teams with the help of local entrepreneurs. The teams play more than 100 matches in the cities of Arnhem, Rotterdam and Apeldoorn. It is the first time in history that this top event takes place in the Netherlands.

Healthy lifestyle

Alderman Herma van Dijkhuizen of Neder-Betuwe: “A unique event that fits perfectly within the policy of both our municipalities to promote a healthy lifestyle. A great opportunity for associations and schools to, for example, involve Italian players in their activities.”

Opportunities for the future

Alderman Niko Wiendels van Buren: “It is also an opportunity for local entrepreneurs. Sponsoring, promotion and marketing starts right away by providing products and services for this major event. Perspectives for the (near) future are that there is an opportunity for the business community to establish an economic relationship with the host country in areas such as tree cultivation and logistics, recreation and tourism.”
