Same as previous editions, the tournament acted as the CSV qualifiers for the FIVB Volleyball Men's U21 World Championship, but in addition, this edition also acted as the CSV qualifiers for the Junior Pan American Games. The top three teams qualified for both the 2025 FIVB Volleyball Men's U21 World Championship in China and the men's volleyball tournament at the 2025 Junior Pan American Games in Asunción, Paraguay as the CSV representatives (besides Paraguay who automatically qualified as host).[4]

Two-time defending champions Brazil successfully retained their title by winning their twenty-first and third consecutive title with a 3–2 victory over Argentina in the final. Chile completed the podium after defeating Colombia 3–0 in the third-place match.[5]

Squads

edit

Each national team had to register a squad of a minimum of 12 and a maximum of 14 players players.[10] Players born on or after 1 January 2005 were eligible to compete in the tournament.

Competition format

edit

The competition format depends on the number of participating teams. With 7 teams two groups were formed, one of three teams and the other of four, which were played on a single round-robin basis in the preliminary round. The group standing procedure was as follows:[10]

  1. Number of matches won;
  2. Match points;
    • Match won 3–0: 3 match points for the winner, 0 match points for the loser
    • Match won 3–1: 3 match points for the winner, 0 match point for the loser
    • Match won 3–2: 2 match points for the winner, 1 match points for the loser
  3. Sets ratio;
  4. Points ratio;
  5. If the tie continues between two teams: result of the last match between the tied teams;
  6. If the tie continues between three or more teams: a new classification would be made taking into consideration only the matches between involved teams.

Once the preliminary round is completed, the top two teams in each group advance to the semi-finals, while the third place teams in each group and the fourth place team in the group of four advance to the playoffs to determine the fifth through seventh place positions. The winners of the semi-finals advance to the final to define the champions while the losers of the semi-finals decide third and fourth place.
