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'sAVC Club Volleyball Championship (Asia),African Clubs Championship (Africa),South American Volleyball Club Championship (South America) andCEV Champions League (Europe), along with the host city's team and a nominated team fromNorth America. The number of teams is increased throughwild 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.[2]
