"The event is open to members of the public to spectate and will be a great day out for both volleyball enthusiasts and those who enjoy watching fast-paced, lively sporting events. I wish the Scotland team the very best of luck."
The council's Depute Leader and tourism spokesman, Alec Clark, said: "It's fantastic news that Scottish Volleyball will be coming to Ayr to host this international tournament. It's not every day that opportunities arise to be involved in competitions of this level and South Ayrshire looks forward to welcoming competitors and spectators alike."
