# 2025 FIVB Women's Volleyball World Championship qualification

The 2025 FIVB Women's Volleyball World Championship qualification was the qualification process organized by the Fédération Internationale de Volleyball (FIVB) to determine the participating teams for the 2025 FIVB Women's Volleyball World Championship, the 20th edition of the international women's volleyball world championship.
A total of 32 teams qualified to play in the final tournament in Thailand. The host country Thailand and the defending champion Serbia qualified automatically, while the other 30 teams were decided by qualification through the Continental Championships in 2023 and the FIVB World Ranking at the end of August 2024.

## Slot allocation

In March 2022, the FIVB Board of Administration approved the new proposed World Championship format. The proposed format increased the number of teams from 24 to 32 to guarantee universality. The new format of the World Championship was confirmed in late 2022 and started with this edition.
The qualification criteria and slot allocation of the expanded World Championship were approved by the FIVB Board of Administration. Similar to the 2022 World Championship, the number of places in the finals allocated to each of the continental zones was not based on the numbers participating in the qualification round and relative performance of the confederations' teams from the previous edition (for example, the NORCECA slot in 2018 was the second most with six due to large numbers of teams in the continental qualifiers (34) and the high performance of their teams in 2014). Every confederation was awarded its slot allocation with three, determined by the ranking of its Continental Championships in 2023. As a courtesy, the host team receives an automatic berth selection, as has happened with the immediate past tournament winner in 2022. The remaining places were determined by the FIVB World Ranking at the end of August 2024, without the continental bias.

## Qualified teams

The host country Thailand and the defending champion Serbia qualified automatically. Meanwhile, the other fifteen teams (three per confederation) qualified through the Continental Championships in 2023. The remaining fifteen places (twelve from CEV and three from NORCECA) were allocated to the highest-ranked teams according to the FIVB World Rankings at the end of August 2024. Therefore, all of the teams were from all confederations with sixteen from CEV, six from NORCECA, four from AVC, three from CAVB, and another three from CSV.
Of the 32 teams qualified, 21 teams were returning after appearing in the 2022 edition. Slovakia, Slovenia, Sweden and Vietnam made their World Championship debut. Meanwhile, France, Spain, Ukraine, Greece and Egypt returned to the tournament after long absences, having last participated in 1974, 1982, 1994, 2002 and 2006, respectively. Additionally, Cuba and Mexico returned to the tournament after missing the 2022 edition. In contrast, South Korea, Kazakhstan and Croatia, all of whom qualified for the 2022 edition, failed to qualify due to insufficient rankings.
The following thirty-two teams qualified for the tournament, listed by the method of qualification.

## Qualification process

There were two methods to qualify for the 2025 FIVB Women's Volleyball World Championship: a direct qualification through the 2023 Continental Championships and a qualification based on the FIVB World Ranking at the end of August 2024. The qualification process commenced on 20 August 2022, initially with the qualifiers for the 2023 European Championship. In contrast, four other Continental Championships did not implement a qualification process. The Continental Championships took place between August and September 2023.
The World Ranking qualification pathway was calculated based on each team's performance in the FIVB world-level competitions and the confederation's continental tournaments. During the 2023-2024 national team window, there were a total of twenty-two events contributing to World Ranking points. This started from the 2023 FIVB Volleyball Nations League in May 2023 and continued until the 2026 European Championship qualifiers on 29 August 2024. Each competition had a different factor value for calculating points. The Olympic Games had the highest point factor of 50, with points decreasing progressively based on the importance of the tournament. The point calculation only considered senior national teams, in cases of overlapping tournaments.
