Host selection

On 15 November 2018, At the FIVB Congress in Cancún, Mexico, FIVB announced that the tournament would be held in Russia. For the first time the championship will take place in Russia.[1] The tournament will take place in ten cities (Moscow, Saint Petersburg, Kaliningrad, Yaroslavl, Kazan, Ufa, Yekaterinburg, Novosibirsk, Kemerovo and Krasnoyarsk).[2][3]

On 9 December 2019, the World Anti-Doping Agency initially handed Russia a four-year ban from all major sporting events, after RUSADA was found non-compliant for handing over manipulating lab data to investigators. The WADA ruling allowed athletes who were not involved in the doping or the coverup to compete, but prohibited the use of the Russian flag and anthem at major international sporting events.[4] However, the Russia national team could still enter qualification, as the ban only applies to the final tournament to decide the world champions. The ruling was appealed to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS),[5] which ruled against RUSADA on 17 December 2020, but reduced the ban from four to two years, expiring on 16 December 2022.[6] The CAS ruling also allowed the name "Russia" to be displayed on uniforms if the words "Neutral Athlete" or "Neutral Team" had equal prominence. As Russia already qualified, its players were unable to use their country's name alone, flag or anthem at the championship, as a result of the two-year ban from world championships in any sport.[6][7]

Qualification
Main article: 2022 FIVB Volleyball Men's World Championship qualification

The host country Russia automatically qualified for the competition as well as the current world champions Poland. The top two teams from each of the 2021 Continental Championships secured qualification. The final 12 places were given to top 12 teams as per FIVB World Ranking who have not yet qualified.[8][9] Russia's team will compete under the name of its federation, Russian Volleyball Federation due to sanctions.[10]

Note: Daggers indicate that team qualified via FIVB World Ranking as of 20 September 2021.[11]

Format
First round

In the first round, the 24 teams will be spread across six pools of four teams playing in a single round-robin format. The top two teams in each pool and the top four of the third placed teams will qualify for the second round, featuring four pools of four teams playing in four cities.

Second round

The second round will feature four pools of four teams playing once again in a single round-robin format. At the end of the second round matches, the rankings of the four pools will be drawn up taking into account the points scored by each team in the first and second rounds. The four pool-winning teams of the second round will qualify for the third round, together with the top two of the second placed teams.

Third round

The six teams competing in the third round will be divided into two three-team pools by a draw. After the matches played once again in a single round-robin format, the top two teams in each pool will qualify for the semifinals and finals.

Final round

The third round pool winners will play against the runners-up in this round. The semifinals winners will advance to compete for the World Championship title. The losers will face each other in the 3rd place match.

Pools composition

First round

The 24 teams were distributed to 6 pools of 4 teams.[12] Teams were seeded in the first position of each pool following the serpentine system according to their FIVB World Ranking as of 20 September 2021.[11] FIVB reserved the right to seed the hosts as head of pool A regardless of the World Ranking. All teams not seeded were drawn to take other available positions in the remaining lines, following the World Ranking. The first round host cities except Moscow also determined by drawing of lots.[13] The draw was held at Irina Viner-Usmanova Gymnastics Palace, Moscow, Russia on 30 September 2021.[14] Rankings are shown in brackets except the hosts who ranked 3rd.
