Same as previous editions, the tournament acted as the CEV qualifiers for the World Championship. Following the decision of the FIVB Board of Administration, the age categories for the age-group events have been aligned so the teams qualified for the FIVB Volleyball Girls' U19 World Championship instead of previous Girls' U18.

Both the CEV and FIVB later excluded Belarus and Russia from participation in all competitions at the start of March.^{[3] [4]}
