The 2023 FIVB Volleyball Women's U21 World Championship will be the 22nd edition of the FIVB Volleyball Women's U21 World Championship.
The 2023 FIVB Volleyball Women’s U21 World Championship will be the 22nd edition of the FIVB Volleyball Women’s U21 World Championship, contested by the women’s national teams under the age of 20 of the members of the FIVB. FIVB is volleyball’s global governing body. It will be held in Mexico from 17 to 27 August 2023. This will be the first edition with under-21 national teams after FIVB decided, in March 2022, to move the age category of the women’s U20 championship to U21 in order to align it with the Men’s U21 World Championship. Italy is the defending champion.
Friday will see Serbia take on Turkey in the 5th-8th place playoffs of the FIVB Volleyball Women’s U21 World Championship 2023. Heading into Friday’s match, Serbia is coming with a defeat in a nail-biter against China (3-1). On the other hand, Turkey is coming after getting hammered by the United States (3-2). The Serbs have shown immense grit in the previous match against the Chinese. However, when they take the field against Turkey, they will be against a formidable European side. Both teams will enter the game on the back of a defeat in their previous match. Let us see who has the last laugh on Friday.
A total of 16 national teams qualified for the final tournament. Mexico qualified automatically as the host. In addition to that 10 other teams qualified through five separate continental competitions which were required to be held by 31 December 2022 at the latest. The remaining 5 teams entered via the Women’s U21 FIVB World Ranking among the teams not yet qualified.
Teams will play a round-robin in each pool. The top two teams from each pool will advance to round-robin pools E and F of the second phase. While the rest will move to pools G and H to continue the battles for classification from 9th to 16th. The winners and runners-up of pools E and F will progress to the semifinals and eventually determine the medallists.
