Footvolley

Futevolei Ipanema during the Volkswagen 2014 Brazil Tour

Footvolley (Portuguese: Futevôlei [futʃiˈvolej] in Brazil, Futevólei [ˌfutɨˈvɔlɐj] in Portugal) (first known as pevoley) is a sport that combines aspects of beach volleyball and association football.[1]

Similar to Kick Volleyball and Futnet.

Footvolley was created by Octavio de Moraes in 1965 in Brazil.[2] Footvolley combines field rules that are based on those of beach volleyball with ball-touch rules taken from association football. Essentially footvolley is beach volleyball except players are not allowed to use their hands and a football replaces the volleyball.[3]
