Men's Volleyball FIVB World Championship 2025


Recommended Posts

My FIVB/FIFA bracket (see above - post #171).

 

:USA - :JPN --- :USA 

:ESP - :MAR --- :ESP 

 

:CRO - :FRA —- :FRA 

:SUI - :SEN —- :SUI 

 

:URU - :PAN --- :URU 

:BRA - :NED --- :BRA 

 

:SCO - :IRI --- :IRI 

:GER - :COL --- :COL 

 

1/8 went on with no major surprises until match 8 when Germans went out

 

QFs:

 

:USA - :ESP

:FRA - :SUI

:URU - :BRA

:IRI - :COL 

 

This is just pure fun - putting FIFA rankings teams instead of FIVB ranking teams into the bracket.

 

But it shows very well how surprising these volleyball WCH are.
 

And I must admit I would love to see such an entertaining football World Cup as well, full of surprises.

So, on paper we have two clear favorites tomorrow: Italy and Poland and two very close matches on Thursday: 50/50%. Although I'm very worried about tomorrow's match against Belgium – the pressure will be intense for us, becouse second consecutive defeat to Belgium at the World Championship would be embarrassing. However, if we win, we can play without any pression, as no one in Italy expects us to beat Poland after our recent matches against them.

Belgium are super underrated and a great team, come on. Obviously it’ll be disappointing, and will feel like a missed opportunity, but having watched them here and at the Olympic Qualifiers they deserve a higher ranking.

Why do I have the feeling that this World Champ will end the same way as always, that is, on the podium with Poland, the USA and Italy? :p

    • 1.3 million tickets sold or 88% of the available tickets with only one sport 100% sold out which is.. ski mountaineering    https://sportetsociete.org/2026/02/22/milan-cortina-2026-succes-confirme-pour-la-billetterie-olympique/     Sure, it didn't have the most tickets to sell, but any good publicity is welcome for the sport's future olympic status. Unfortunately, we don't have a full breakdown by sport. I imagine ice hockey have sold the most, following by biathlon perhaps ?
    • The link to "Surfing" in the first post leads to the "Diving" qualification.  
    • Alpine skiing (10) - reinstating the 2022 programme without the mixed team;   Biathlon (12 +1) - add single mixed relay   Bobsleigh (4) - Create strict rules for bobsleighs, to reward driving more and reduce the burden of material development.   Cross-country skiing (12) - Drop women's 50km, add women's 30km   Curling (3) - no changes   Figure skating (5) - no changes   Freestyle skiing (16 +1) - add mixed skicross team   Ice hockey (2) - Remove the 3vs3 rule in the knockout stage   Luge (5) - no changes   Nordic combined (6 +3) - drop men's NH Gundersen - add men's/women's NH Mass Start - add women's LH HGundersen - add women's NH team relay   Short-track speed skating (9) - no changes   Skeleton (3) - no changes   Ski jumping (7 +1) - drop men's super team - add men's & women's team   Ski mountaineering (6 +3) - add M/W vertical e M/W individual - drop mixed sprint relay   Snowboarding (15 +2) - add M/W PSL   Speed skating (16 +2) - add M/W team sprint     New sports:   Speed skating (2) - M/W event   Freeriding (4) - W/M snowboard - W/M ski freestyle   TOTAL: 135 +19

    • Qualifying round starting today. No pause after the Winter Olympics     https://www.concacaf.com/en/under-20s-men/news/u-20-qualifiers-kicks-off-with-eight-matches/
    • Would you believe we are straight back into action with the Scottish Championships starting tomorrow.  None of the Olympians in action, although team reserve Ross Whyte skips the favourites.   Usually some streaming at the weekend
    • Now that I've had half a day to recover from the traumatic hockey loss, I can answer this question better:   Favourite Moments from Canadian Athletes (not many but they still exist) The Cross-Country skiing team delivering great performance after great performance and giving hope for a Canadian renaissance in the sport Rachel Homan finally overcoming her Olympic demons and winning a medal in curling Mikael Kingsbury winning the first dual moguls Olympic gold medal at capping his career with an Olympic gold Megan Oldham winning gold in freeski big air Seeing the emergence of Stephen Gogolev in men's figure skating Deanna Stellato-Dudek finally getting to live out her Olympic dream at 42 years old when it looked like it wouldn't be the case after an injury in a practice session Piper Gilles/Paul Poirier finally getting an Olympic medal in Ice Dance Courtney Sarault winning 4 medals after winning no medals in 2022 and almost quitting the sport in 2023 Laurent Dubreuil finally winning a medal in the 500m Valerie Maltais (at 35 years old) turning back the clock and having a career year winning 3 Olympic medals in speed skating Women's Team Pursuit winning back-to-back gold medals   Favourite Moments from International Athletes:  Lucas Pinheiro Braathen winning gold in the men's giant slalom  Johan-Olav Botn dedicating his win to Sivert Guttorm Bakken  Federica Brignone overcoming injury and winning 2 gold medals  Lisa Vittozzi winning biathlon gold on home soil  Seeing the incredible Bulgarian performances in biathlon  Elana Meyers Taylor finally winning Olympic gold  Klaebo dominance Nazgul the dog  Mikhail Shaidorov winning gold in men's figure skating  Alysa Liu winning gold after retiring from the sport in 2022 Men's Freeski big air final Seeing the emergence of  Kacper Tomasiak in ski jumping The parallel giant slalom events  Choi Ga-on winning halfpipe gold after a scary injury on her 1st run Even though it wasn't the result I wanted, the men's snowboard cross final had a thrilling finish  Francesca Lollobrigida stunning everyone with gold in the women's 3000m and 5000m In general, seeing all the countries that hadn't won a Winter Olympic medal ever or in a long time win a medal at these Games
    • My proposal:   Skimo: Only a long distance race   Freestyle skiing: remove dual moguls or make it somehow different than regular moguls Like more focus in first to finish than technical score, otherwise it doesnt fit for a parallell format. Remove team events in freestyle.   Alpine skiing: take back individual  combined and remove the team event (but if they keep it, only allow one team/nation)   Curling: consider to include a singles skills event    Cross country skiing: can be kept it as it is but if they would consider removing team sprint, replace with having one sprint of each style. They could also make 50 km as individual start, and skiathlon should change order of free/classical between each championship.   Luge/skeleton/bob: remove relays. There is already team events (2men/4men)   Figure skating: remove team event   Speed skating: replace team Pursuit with a relaty format. Remove mass start.   Short track: remove some events, maybe relay, maybe 1000m or something.   Biathlon: like the current programme but to be honest (and my proposal might be controversial) the Pursuit is maybe the best event showtime who is best actuslly over 6 shootings and in a combination of individual start and head to head but it is strange to give out medals for both sprint and for a following race with handicap start. Like the winner of round Robin curling would get a gold and then a new good in playoffs. Why not have a Pursuit based on a shooting contest or something instead of a previous medal event?   Consider to include new sport: Bandy
