History

It all began in 1989 when a group of lesbian berliner volley-ball players came up with a crazy challenge : organizing a lesbian European volleyball tournament, which was called Eulevoto (European Lesbian Volley Tournament).

Thirty years later, the Eulevoto is still up and running ! Compared to the traditional international gay and lesbian events, the tournament is unique in itself as it is organized each year in a different city by a group of volunteers from that same city. The tournament is played through two days, offering different game levels, which allows everyone to get in the game. Whether you are a confirmed player or a hard-at-work beginner, you can take part in one of the major sport events of the year.

Year after year, and to name a few, Amsterdam, Brussels, London, Copenhaguen, Riga or Barcelona have already welcomed and hosted Eulevoto.

Each year the tournament gathers more and more participants. To this day, more than 17 countries have been represented: Germany, Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Spain, Finland, France, the United Kingdom, Island, Italy, Poland, the Netherlands, Czech Republic, Russia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Switzerland.

In 2025 the 34rd European Lesbian Volleyball Tournament will take place in Paris. FLINTA (Female, Lesbian, Intersex, Trans and Agender) teams from all over Europe will join an exciting Easter weekend in our charming capital from Friday 18 until Monday 21 April 2025.
