FIVB Men's Volleyball Club World Championship


The FIVB Men's Volleyball Club World Championship is an international men's club volleyball competition organised by the Fédération Internationale de Volleyball, the sport's global governing body. The competition was first contested in 1989 in Italy. It was not held between 1993 and 2008, but since 2009, the competition has been held every year, and has been hosted by Qatar, Brazil, Poland and India.
The current champions are Italy's Sir Sicoma Monini Perugia, who defeated Japan's Osaka Bluteon in the final of the 2025 edition and won their third world title. Italian teams have been the most successful, with thirteen titles, and in all editions but 2015, at least one Italian team have taken part in the event.

Format

The competition formula of the FIVB Men's Volleyball Club World Championship has been constantly changed to fit the different number of teams that participate in each edition.
In general, the format of the tournament involves eight teams competing for the title at venues within the host nation over a period of about one week; the winners of that year's AVC Club Volleyball Championship, African Clubs Championship, South American Volleyball Club Championship and CEV Champions League, along with the host city's team and a nominated team from North America. The number of teams is increased through wild card invitees.
Starting from 2024, the qualification for the Club World Championships will be as follows: two places per continent for Europe, Asia, and South America; one place for Africa; and finally, a club from the host nation will be granted a place. This change aims to ensure the fair representation from different continents and provides an opportunity for the host country to participate in the tournament.

Prize money

The total prize money for the tournament is over USD 350,000.
