Asian Championship U20 2024/25

The **Asian Men's U-20 Volleyball Championship** operates as the premier continental competition for men's national teams under the age of 20. Organised by the Asian Volleyball Confederation (AVC), the tournament serves as the primary qualifying event for the FIVB Men's U21 World Championship. The 2024 edition, the 22nd in the series, took place in Surabaya, Indonesia, featuring 16 teams divided into four pools of four.

Iran stands as the most successful nation in the competition's history with eight titles, including the current championship won by defeating South Korea 3-0 in the final. South Korea follows with seven titles. The tournament is held biennially, with the 2024 edition marking a structural shift that reduced participants from 21 to 16 teams. This reform introduced a more structured zonal qualification process. In the 2024 edition, the top four teams qualified for the 2025 World Championship. The format consists of a group stage followed by a knockout quarterfinal, semifinal, and final bracket.

The event distinguishes itself from the AVC Men's U18 Championship, which caters to younger players, and the AVC Men's U23 Championship, which bridges the gap to senior volleyball. As a national team continental championship, there is no promotion or relegation system, though qualification for the main event remains competitive. The 2024 edition included teams from Australia, Bangladesh, Chinese Taipei, Hong Kong, Kuwait, and Qatar alongside the host nation. The competition's significance lies in its role as a developmental platform for emerging talent within the Asian volleyball pyramid.
