A Bit About Oguz Degirmenci
Born in 1978 in Istanbul, Oguz Degirmenci graduated from Uludag University with a degree in International Relations. He discovered volleyball at the age of 11 and started playing as a licensed athlete at the age of 15. He competed in various levels of Turkish Volleyball Leagues until 2003, playing his first beach volleyball tournament at the age of 19. Between 1998 and 2004, he organized numerous sports events in Antalya and Bursa, including beach volleyball, street basketball, beach football, cage football, and billiards.
In 2004, he moved to North Carolina, USA, where he played semi-professional beach volleyball between 2005 and 2011. He won many tournaments in North Carolina and became the first Turkish athlete to compete in the American professional beach volleyball series, the AVP Tour. He also played grass volleyball, earning the title of “King of North Carolina” in grass volleyball for five consecutive years.
In addition to being an active athlete in the U.S., Oguz coached volleyball and organized beach volleyball events. Between 2007 and 2011, he organized beach volleyball tournaments and provided training sessions to aspiring athletes, both youth and adult.

In the same year, he led his NC ELITE U16 team to a USAV National Championship in the Classic division. He returned to Turkey at the end of 2011 and joined the Turkish Beach Volleyball League.
In 2012, he was elected to the Beach Volleyball Commission of the Turkish Volleyball Federation (TVF). A year later, he became the Beach Volleyball Organization and League Director at TVF, stepping away from active beach volleyball participation.
He developed the "TVF Pro Beach Tour" project, which was implemented under the leadership of the TVF Board. In his role at TVF, he organized 120 beach volleyball leagues and Pro Beach Tour stages, as well as 42 FIVB and CEV international beach and snow volleyball events between 2013-2023. From 2015 to 2017, he launched the TVF Beach Academy sports program and coordinated training sessions. This program organized beach volleyball coaching lessons in Ankara, Bursa, Antalya, Samsun, and Izmir. Since 2013, he has served as a Technical Supervisor / Delegate for FIVB, CEV, and BVA beach and snow volleyball international events. He has also been a member of the European Volleyball Confederation (CEV) Beach Volleyball Commission for two consecutive terms (2016-2020, 2020-2024), and a FIVB Snow Volleyball Commission member for the 2021-2024 season.
Until 2023, Oguz served as a FIVB / CEV Technical Delegate in 32 international official events abroad.
