2025 BEACH WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS DRAWING OF LOTS ON THURSDAY

The world’s best 48 teams per gender will find out their first opponents at the 2025 FIVB Beach Volleyball World Championships

With the 15th edition of the FIVB Beach Volleyball World Championships set to take place from November 14 to 23 fast approaching, the upcoming drawing of lots will further turn up the excitement in anticipation of the grand event. The 96 participating teams will find out their first three opponents in the pool phase of Adelaide 2025 on Thursday, when the pool compositions will be drawn. The ceremony will get underway at 11:00 local time in Adelaide (00:30 UTC) and it will be streamed live on the Beach Volleyball World YouTube Channel.

The largest beach volleyball competition ever to be held on Asian Volleyball Confederation territory and also the second ever World Championships to take place in the southern hemisphere will be played under the familiar competition format, with 48 teams per gender and with all five continental confederations represented.

In each gender, the 48 teams will be split into 12 single round-robin pools of four. The pool winners, the pool runners-up and the best four of the third-placed teams in the pools will progress straight to the Round Of 32. 

The remaining eight third-placed teams in the pools will advance to the first knockout round, dubbed “the lucky loser round”. The four winning teams of that round will also qualify for the Round Of 32. The knockout stage continues in a direct elimination format, further including the Round Of 16, the quarterfinals, the semifinals and the two medal matches. A total of 216 matches, or 108 per gender, will be contested during the Adelaide 2025 World Championships.
