The 2024 Men's U21 South American Volleyball Championship was the 26th edition of the Men's Junior South American Volleyball Championship, the biennial international youth volleyball tournament organised by the Confederación Sudamericana de Voleibol (CSV) for the men's under-21 national teams of South America. It was held in Callao, Peru from 30 October to 3 November 2024.[1] [2] [3]
Same as previous editions, the tournament acted as the CSV qualifiers for the FIVB Volleyball Men's U21 World Championship, but in addition, this edition also acted as the CSV qualifiers for the Junior Pan American Games. The top three teams qualified for both the 2025 FIVB Volleyball Men's U21 World Championship in China and the men's volleyball tournament at the 2025 Junior Pan American Games in Asunción, Paraguay as the CSV representatives (besides Paraguay who automatically qualified as host).[4]
Two-time defending champions Brazil successfully retained their title by winning their twenty-first and third consecutive title with a 3–2 victory over Argentina in the final. Chile completed the podium after defeating Colombia 3–0 in the third-place match.[5]

The competition format depends on the number of participating teams. With 7 teams two groups were formed, one of three teams and the other of four, which were played on a single round-robin basis in the preliminary round. The group standing procedure was as follows:[10]
Once the preliminary round is completed, the top two teams in each group advance to the semi-finals, while the third place teams in each group and the fourth place team in the group of four advance to the playoffs to determine the fifth through seventh place positions. The winners of the semi-finals advance to the final to define the champions while the losers of the semi-finals decide third and fourth place.
All match times are local times, PET (UTC-5), as listed by CSV.[11] [12]
