The 2019 FIVB Men's World Cup was the 14th edition of the event, contested by the senior men's national teams of the members of the French: [[Fédération Internationale de Volleyball]] (FIVB), the sport's global governing body. The tournament was held from 1 to 15 October 2019 in Japan.[1] That was the first time since 1989 that FIVB decided not to allocate any spots in the Olympics, due to Japan hosting the 2020 Summer Olympics.

Qualification

Twelve teams qualified for the competition by being one of the top two teams of each continental federation based on FIVB World Ranking on 1 January 2019 (except Japan who qualified as hosts, and Poland who qualified as 2018 World Champions).
