Well, just like what happened in handball, Qatar should move up a few levels by 2029 if you know what I mean.

Poland again? Italy could host the Women's World Championships, especially since we now have a boom in this sport and not only in large cities like Milan and Rome, but also in Cagliari, etc.

It would be interesting for Italy to host; it's a country that loves volleyball, so we'd certainly have a great competition.

I'm concerned about the number of empty courts we'll see in the USA, Canada, and Qatar.

Poland will host it for 3rd time in the last 5 editions. This is too much

Latin America hasn't been a host also since 2002.

The worst thing is that politicians and volleyball authorities in Poland don't understand that people are increasingly indifferent to the sport for some years. In 2006, when Poland reached the World Championship final for the first time over some decades, the whole country was buzzing with excitement and it was the same during the first World Championships in Poland in 2014. And now? I recently write a Polish friend asking if he was watching the Volleyball World Championships and he said, "Is there another World Championship?"

It's very expensive to host a World Championships or even the final round of the Nations League. Latin American countries don't have enough money to compete with these countries. Not to compete with countries like Poland, Türkiye or Japan at least.

 

So we end up having to host less competitive tournaments like the Club World Championships or the U21, U19, and U17 World Championships.

Brazil and Argentina togheter? On paper, Brazil has a higher GDP than Turkiye. Argentina is indeed much poorer than 20-30 years ago, but only 3-4 halls are needed.
