Nations Winter Cup by FB Tanks: major international Under-17 volleyball comes to Pordenone

From February 20 to 22, 2026, the city of Porcia will host the Nations Winter Cup by FB Tanks 2026, one of the most important international Under-17 volleyball tournaments in Europe.

The event is part of the Cornacchia World Cup circuit and is organized by Polisportiva San Giorgio di Porcia in collaboration with the Italian Sports Center – Pordenone Committee.

We are pleased and proud to be, once again this year, the title sponsor of an event that has grown edition after edition to become one of the
landmark events in the European youth volleyball calendar.
16 national teams, two categories, one goal: a weekend of sport that goes beyond the court.

In the women’s bracket (G17), the following teams will compete: Croatia, Czech Republic, Egypt, England, Germany, Japan, Montenegro, and Slovenia. In the men’s bracket (B17): Croatia, Czech Republic, Egypt, England, Germany, Italy, Japan, and Montenegro.
Pordenone is confirmed as an ideal venue for international sporting events thanks to its strategic location between Austria and Slovenia and its proximity to Venice. The modern facilities and the volleyball tradition of the region make the Nations Winter Cup an event that combines technical quality, organization, and public participation.
Why do we support this tournament?

At FB Tanks, we believe that investing in youth sports means investing in people and communities. Under-17 volleyball is the volleyball of the future: this is where tomorrow’s champions are formed, where values such as respect, teamwork, and determination are built. Supporting a project like the Cornacchia World Cup, which has been a reference point for European youth national teams for years, is a choice that goes far beyond visibility for us: it is a choice of identity.
