Creating and organizing the main tournaments of each sport, promoting television coverage of great international events, working closely with federations and national clubs, Octagon Koch Tavares simultaneously delivers benefits to the spectators, athletes and the sponsors. Our specialty is sports. Not just tennis, beach volleyball or beach soccer, we handle all of them...

Voley-Four
With beach volleyball already consolidated, and with the Brazilian women capturing gold and silver medals at the Atlanta Olympic Games (96), Koch Tavares brought the quartet competition, which had been sucessful at Hollywood Volley, back to Brazil.

This format – one setter and three spikers – allows many different attack options with the ball in play for a longer time and boosts emotions during matches.

The competition of December '96, on the beach of Jurerê Internacional, in Florianópolis (SC), united four teams: Brazil, the United States, Italy and Canada. The Dream Team of Brazil consisted of Jacqueline, Sandra Pires, Mônica Rodrigues and Adriana Samuel, who left as champions.

Three months later was the time for José Cuervo Men's Volley Four, which took place on Copacabana Beach, in Rio de Janeiro (RJ). Though the site was different, the result was the same: Brazil’s Zé Marco, Emanuel, Anjinho and Pará finished in first place, followed by the United States, Canada and Argentina.

By 1997, the events of men's, women's and mixed Volley Four came to be part of the calendar of Koch Tavares, particularly the two editions of the Samsung Cup, which offered to the public, along with unforgettable matches, Samsung Park and several entertainment options for the whole family: cyber café, shows, aerobic classes, counter-strike championship, and art studios for children.

Our main beach and indoor volleyball stars such as Giovane, Tande, Carlão, Emanuel, Zé Marco, Ricardo, Anjinho, Loiola, Ana Paula, Sandra Pires, Jacqueline, Leila, Ida, Ana Richa, Mônica Rodrigues and Adriana Samuel have all participated in competitions organized by Octagon Koch Tavares.


Football 7/Society
All over Brazil people are extremely enthusiastic about soccer and practically the whole world plays it. Thus, there was nothing more natural than to elect one of its modalities – Football 7/Society – as the sport of fraternity. Octagon Koch Tavares played its role by organizing competitions among company teams in 2000 – such as Eternit Cup and the Pan-American Bank Cup –, which brought together hundreds of teams.

In the same year Koch Tavares organized the I Mundialito of Football 7/Society, in São Bernardo do Campo (SP), featuring great Brazilian sports stars such as Denílson and Careca.

Futsal
Six international Challenges, one Mundialito and a Nation’s Cup, that took place in a beautiful arena on Iracema Beach in Fortaleza (CE), were just some of the Futsal events organized by Octagon Koch Tavares.
