The 2022 Boys' U19 South American Volleyball Championship was the 22nd edition of the Boys' U19 South American Volleyball Championship, a biennial international boys' volleyball tournament organised by the Confederación Sudamericana de Voleibol (CSV) for the boys' under-19 national teams of South America. It was held in Araguari, Brazil from 24 to 28 August 2022.[1] [2]
Same as previous editions, the tournament acted as the CSV qualifiers for the FIVB Volleyball Boys' U19 World Championship. The top three teams qualified for the 2023 FIVB Volleyball Boys' U19 World Championship as the CSV representatives, besides Argentina who automatically qualify as host.
Argentina won their fifth title after beating Brazil 3–0 in the final. Colombia defeated Chile also by a 3–0 score in the third place match to take the bronce medal.[3] These four teams qualified for the 2023 U19 World Championship, including fourth-place Chile, who qualified after Argentina was named hosts of that U19 World Championship, in January 2023.
Araguari, Brazil was confirmed as host city of the tournament during the 75th CSV Annual Congress held on 13 April 2022 in Belo Horizonte, Brazil.[1]
The competition was entirely played at the Ginásio Poliesportivo General Mário Brum Negreiros.[4]
Six of the twelve CSV member associations entered the tournament.[4]
