The '''FIVB Volleyball Men's World Championship''' is an international [[volleyball]] competition contested by the senior men's national teams of the members of ''{{lang|fr|[[Fédération Internationale de Volleyball]]}}'' (FIVB), the sport's global governing body. The initial gap between championships was variable, but since [[1962 FIVB Volleyball Men's World Championship|1962]] they were held every four years. The tournament will be held biannually starting in 2025.<ref name="WCH reformation">{{Cite web |title=Volleyball calendar 2025–2028 approved by the FIVB Board of Administration |url=https://www.fivb.com/en/about/news/volleyball-calendar-2025-2028-approved-by-the-fivb?id=100917 |access-date=2023-06-27 |website=FIVB |language=en}}</ref>

The current champion is [[Italy men's national volleyball team|Italy]], who won their fourth title at the [[2022 FIVB Volleyball Men's World Championship|2022 tournament]], defeating [[Poland men's national volleyball team|Poland]] in the final.

The current format of the competition involves a qualification phase, which currently takes place over the preceding three years, to determine which teams qualify for the tournament phase, which is often called the ''World Championship Finals''. The former format was 24 teams, including the automatically qualifying host nation(s), compete in the tournament phase for the title at venues within the host nation(s) over a period of about a month.

The 20 World Championship tournaments have been won by seven different national teams: the [[Soviet Union men's national volleyball team|Soviet Union]] six times; [[Italy men's national volleyball team|Italy]] four times; [[Brazil men's national volleyball team|Brazil]] and [[Poland men's national volleyball team|Poland]] three times each; [[Czechoslovakia men's national volleyball team|Czechoslovakia]] twice; and [[East Germany men's national volleyball team|East Germany]] and the [[United States men's national volleyball team|United States]], once each.

== History ==
The history of the World Championship goes back to the beginnings of volleyball as a professional, high level sport. One of the first concrete measures taken by the [[Fédération Internationale de Volleyball|FIVB]] after its foundation in 1947 was the establishment of an international competition involving teams from more than one continent. In 1949, the first edition was played in [[Prague]], [[Czechoslovakia]]. At that point, the tournament was still restricted to Europe.

Three years later, the event was expanded to include nations from Asia, and began to be held in 4-year cycles. By the following edition, there were also teams from [[South America|South]], [[Central America|Central]] and North America.

Since volleyball was to be added to the Olympic Program in 1964, the 4-cycles were advanced in 2 years after the fourth edition (1960), so that the World Championship may alternate with the [[Summer Olympic Games]]. As of 1970, teams from Africa also took part in the competition, and the original goal of having members from all five continental confederations in the games was achieved.

The number of teams involved in the games has changed significantly over the years. Following volleyball's increase in popularity, they raised steadily to over 20 in the 1970s and part of the 1980s, were then cut short to 16 in the 1990s, and finally set up in 24 after 2002. Today, the World Championship is the most comprehensive of all events organized by the FIVB, and arguably the most important, alongside the [[Olympic Games]].<ref>[http://worldgrandprix.2017.fivb.com/en/finals-3/competition Competition introduction].</ref>

Until 1974, the host nation of the tournament organized both the men's and the women's events, with the single exception of the 1966/1967 games, which took place in different years. Since 1978, this practice has been only occasionally observed, for instance, in 1998 and in the 2006 edition, which was held, as the former was, in Japan.

On 15 October 2022, FIVB announced the expansion of World Championships and the changes to the competition formula. A total of 32 teams are to compete for future editions of the tournament.<ref name=Expand>{{Cite web |date=15 October 2022 |title=FIVB Volleyball World Championships To Expand To 32-Teams Per Gender And Enhance Competition Formula |url=https://www.fivb.com/en/about/news/fivb-volleyball-world-championships-to-expand-to?id=100250 |website=FIVB |access-date=}}</ref>

On 22 June, 2023, Volleyball Calendar 2025–2028 approved by FIVB shown that World Championships to be played biannually in odd years. The first reformed World Championships will be held in 2025 with 32 teams in [[#New formula|new formula]].<ref name="WCH reformation" />

=== Winners ===
The history of the World Championship clearly demonstrates how volleyball was originally dominated by European nations.

The first two editions were won by the [[Soviet Union men's national volleyball team|Soviet Union]]. In 1956, twice runner-up [[Czechoslovakia men's national volleyball team|Czechoslovakia]] took the gold. There followed two more consecutive wins for the [[Soviet Union men's national volleyball team|Soviet Union]], in both cases over [[Czechoslovakia men's national volleyball team|Czechoslovakia]]. The Czechs won a gold medal in the 1966 edition.

In 1970, [[East Germany men's national volleyball team|East Germany]] prevailed over [[Bulgaria men's national volleyball team|Bulgaria]] for their first and only title. In 1974, the [[Soviet Union men's national volleyball team|Soviet Union]] threatened to take the lead once more, but ended up being defeated by [[Poland men's national volleyball team|Poland]] at the final. Nevertheless, they would confirm their leadership by winning, for the third time, two editions in a row.

1986 saw the first relevant confrontation between [[United States men's national volleyball team|United States]], the rising major force of the decade, and the traditional leader [[Soviet Union men's national volleyball team|Soviet Union]] after the Olympic boycotts of 1980 and 1984. As would be the case two years later at the [[Volleyball at the 1988 Summer Olympics|Seoul Olympic Games]], the issue was settled in favour of the Americans led by [[Karch Kiraly]] and [[Steve Timmons]]. [[Italy men's national volleyball team|Italy]] completely dominated the competition in the 1990s, winning all the editions that took place in this decade (1990, 1994, 1998), led by such players as [[Lorenzo Bernardi]] and [[Andrea Giani]].

In the 2000s, [[Brazil men's national volleyball team|Brazil]] became the leading force in the sport, also winning three consecutive editions (2002, 2006 and 2010), the first of which in [[Buenos Aires]], Argentina, the same stage where the Brazilians had been runners-up in 1982. In 2014, hosts [[Poland men's national volleyball team|Poland]] defeated Brazil in four sets at the final, achieving their second gold medal and preventing what would have been a historic fourth title in a row. In 2018, Poland won a second consecutive title, again defeating Brazil in the final. In 2022, Poland, playing at home, missed the opportunity to win three consecutive editions by losing in the final to [[Italy men's national volleyball team|Italy]], who won their fourth World title.

As of 2022, 20 editions of the men's Volleyball World Championship have been played: 16 went to European teams, and four to [[Americas|American]] teams (three times to [[Brazil men's national volleyball team|Brazil]] and once to the [[United States men's national volleyball team|United States]]).

=== Final tournament ===
The competition formula of the FIVB World Championship has been constantly changed to fit the different number of teams that participate in each edition. The following rules usually apply:

* Twenty-four teams participate in each event.
* Qualification procedures for the World Championship are long and strenuous, lasting over two years.
* Host nations are always pre-qualified.
* The number of spots available per confederation is determined by the [[Fédération Internationale de Volleyball|FIVB]]: Europe has usually the highest, and Africa or South America the lowest.
* To participate in the event, a team must survive a number of qualification tournaments depending on its position in the [[FIVB World Rankings]]. Low-ranked teams may have to engage in up to three tournaments to be granted a berth; high-ranked teams typically play only one.
* The competition is divided in at least two phases: a preliminary round and a final round. Depending on the number of participating teams, one or more intermediary rounds may also be required.
* In the preliminary round, teams are organized in pools. Each team plays one match against all other teams in its pool.
* When all the matches of the preliminary round have been played, the top ''n'' teams in each pool qualify for the following round(s), and the remaining ones leave the competition.  The value of ''n'' depends on the number of participating teams and the format that will be employed in the finals.
* The [[Fédération Internationale de Volleyball|FIVB]] has tried various different formats for the final round(s). For some years now (2004), there seems to be a  consensus that at least semifinals and finals must be played according to the Olympic format.
* Quarterfinals may consist of groups of teams playing against each other, or of direct confrontation; in the latter case additional intermediary rounds might be required to reduce the number of surviving teams to eight.
* The tournament now implements a line-up of fourteen players, and four reserve players in case of injuries.

=== New formula ===
A totally brand new competition formula was announced by FIVB. A total of 32 teams will compete in the World Championship. The teams will be divided into 8 groups of 4 teams for the round-robin phase with 2 best teams per group moving into the direct knockout phase: round of 16, quarterfinals, semi-finals and final.<ref name=Expand />
