The 2024 FIVB Volleyball Girls' U17 World Championship is the inaugural edition of the FIVB Volleyball Girls' U17 World Championship, the biennial international youth volleyball championship contested by the women's national teams under the age of 17 of the members associations of the French: [[Fédération Internationale de Volleyball]] (FIVB), the sport's global governing body. The tournament is held in Lima, Peru from 17 to 24 August 2024.[1]

The FIVB U17 World Championship for both genders was proposed by the FIVB Volleyball Council and unanimously approved by the FIVB Board of Administration during its meeting held in March 2022.[2] [3]

Host selection

On 8 November 2023, FIVB opened the bidding process for member associations whose countries were interested in hosting the Girls' and Boys' U17 World Championships planned to take place between 1 and 31 August 2024.[4] The expression of interest of the member associations had to be submitted to FIVB no later than 18:00 CET (UTC+1) on 8 December 2023.[5]

FIVB announced the hosts for both Girls' and Boys' U17 World Championships on 28 February 2024, with Peru being selected to host the inaugural edition of the Girls' U17 World Championship.[1] Peru had previously hosted three FIVB Age Group World Championships: the Girls' U18 World Championship in 2015 and the Women's U20 World Championship in 1989 and 2011.[6]

On 5 April 2024, Peruvian Volleyball Federation President Gino Vegas confirmed Lima as the host city,[8] with Coliseo Eduardo Dibós, in San Borja District, and, in Villa El Salvador district, as venues of the competition.[9] [10]

Qualification

The qualification process was announced on 28 March 2023 with a total of 16 national teams to qualify for the final tournament.[11] In addition to Peru who qualified automatically as the host, 15 other teams qualified through five separate continental championships which were required to be held by 31 December 2023 at the latest.[5]

The originally slot allocation was setted as follow:[5]

However, the African Volleyball Confederation saw its quota reduced from 3 to 1 because its qualifying tournament only fielded three teams, instead of the minimum 4 teams required.[12] FIVB decided to award these two places to the best fourth-place national teams from the remaining continental qualifiers, based on the Girls' U19 FIVB World Ranking: Thailand (ranked 5) and Dominican Republic (ranked 13).[1]

Squads

Each national team had to register a long-list roster with up to 25 players, which eventually had to be reduced to a final list of 12 players.[13] Players born on or after 1 January 2008 were eligible to compete in the tournament.[5]

Pools composition

The draw for the pools composition was held on 1 May 2024, 14:30 (UTC±0), at the FIVB headquarters in Lausanne, Switzerland.[14] The 16 teams were split into four pools of six. The hosts Peru and the top three teams of the Girls' U19 FIVB World Ranking in force at that time were seeded in the first positions of each pool in alphabetical order from pool A to pool D. FIVB reserved the right to seed the host team as head of pool A regardless of their position in the World Ranking. The remaining 16 teams were divided into three pots of four, according to their position in the same Girls' U19 FIVB World Ranking, in order to be drawn to complete the following three positions in each pool.
