The FIVB U17 World Championship for both genders was proposed by the FIVB Volleyball Council and unanimously approved by the FIVB Board of Administration during its meeting held in March 2022.[2][3]

Host selection

edit

On 8 November 2023, FIVB opened the bidding process for member associations whose countries were interested in hosting the Girls' and Boys' U17 World Championships planned to take place between 1 and 31 August 2024.[4] The expression of interest of the member associations had to be submitted to FIVB no later than 18:00 CET (UTC+1) on 8 December 2023.[5]

Bulgarian Volleyball Federation announced its bid in October 2023.[6]

FIVB announced the hosts for both Girls' and Boys' U17 World Championships on 28 February 2024, with Bulgaria being selected to host the inaugural edition of the Boys' U17 World Championship.[1][7] This will be the second FIVB age-group world championship hosted by Bulgaria after the 2021 FIVB Men's U21 World Championship which was co-hosted with Italy. Bulgaria also hosted both the Men's and Women's FIVB World Championships in 1970 and most recently the 2018 FIVB Men's World Championship (also co-hosted with Italy).[8]

Pools composition

edit

The draw for the pools composition was held on 1 May 2024, 14:30 (UTC±0), at the FIVB headquarters in Lausanne, Switzerland.[11] The 16 teams were split into four pools of six. The hosts Bulgaria and the top three teams of the Boys' U19 FIVB World Ranking in force at that time were seeded in the first positions of each pool in alphabetical order from pool A to pool D. FIVB reserved the right to seed the host team as head of pool A regardless of their position in the World Ranking. The remaining 16 teams were divided into three pots of four, according to their position in the same Boys' U19 FIVB World Ranking, in order to be drawn to complete the following three positions in each pool.[12]

Boys' U19 FIVB World Ranking of each team (as of 24 August 2023) are shown in brackets, except the hosts Bulgaria who ranked 5th.[13]

  •   Bulgaria (Hosts, assigned to A1)
  •   Iran (2), assigned to B1)
  •   Italy (6), assigned to C1
  •   Belgium (7), assigned to D1

The draw procedure followed the serpentine system and was as follows:[12]

  • Teams from pot 2 were then drawn and placed in line 3 of each pool starting from pool A to pool D.
  • Teams from pot 1 were drawn at the end and were placed in line 2 of each pool starting from pool D to pool A.
