FIVB Volleyball Men's Club World Championship

FIVB Volleyball Men's Club World Championship
The FIVB Volleyball Men's Club World Championship is an international men's club volleyball competition organised by the Fédération Internationale de Volleyball (FIVB), 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 and Brazil except in 2017 and 2018 where both hosted by Poland.
The current champions are Italy's Sir Safety Susa Perugia, who defeated another Italian club – Trentino Itas (3–1) in the final of the 2022, to win their first title in the competition. Italian teams have been the most successful, with eleven titles, and in all editions but 2015, at least one Italian team take part in the event.

Format
The competition formula of the FIVB Volleyball Men's 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 (Asia), African Clubs Championship (Africa), South American Volleyball Club Championship (South America) and CEV Champions League (Europe), 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.
