FIVB names Qatar Beach Volleyball Duo World's Best for 2025

Lausanne - Qatar’s beach volleyball stars Cherif Younousse and Ahmed Tijan have been crowned the world’s best men’s beach volleyball team for 2025, following an exceptional season that confirmed their dominance on the global stage.

In an official statement released on sunday, the International Volleyball Federation (FIVB) announced the selection of the Qatari duo in recognition of their outstanding performances across the world’s most prestigious tournaments throughout the year.

The FIVB highlighted the perfect balance within the Qatari partnership, praising Younousse’s commanding presence at the net alongside Tijan’s outstanding defensive brilliance. This formidable combination propelled the duo to a landmark season, playing a decisive role in Qatar’s haul of four gold medals and firmly establishing them among the elite of world beach volleyball.

Describing Qatar’s 2025 beach volleyball campaign as “remarkable,” the federation noted that Younousse and Tijan consistently delivered world-class performances, advancing deep into the latter stages of the Beach Pro Tour events. Their success, the FIVB said, reflected peak athletic condition, tactical intelligence, and exceptional physical power—further enhancing Qatar’s growing reputation on the international volleyball scene.

During the 2025 season, the Qatari pair captured four international gold medals at Beach Pro Tour stops in Xiamen (China), Gstaad (Switzerland), New York (United States), and Rio de Janeiro (Brazil), sealing a historic year for Qatar beach volleyball.
