ABOUT US!

Bolao was born from a deep passion for footvolley — a sport that blends the precision of volleyball with the rhythm and energy of football.

What started on the beaches of Brazil has now become a movement that connects players, clubs, and fans across Europe.

At Bolao, we live and breathe the sport.

We don’t just sell products — we build a culture around performance, connection, and community.

Our team works closely with professional players, event organizers, and brands to push the growth of footvolley and beach sports in general.

Footvolley was created in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in the 1960s.

At that time, playing football on the beaches was forbidden, so local players started using the volleyball courts instead — keeping the ball in the air without using their hands. What began as a creative way to bypass the beach football ban soon evolved into a new sport: Footvolley. From Brazil’s beaches, it spread across South America and later to Europe, becoming a global beach phenomenon.
