Drawing of Lots for FIVB Volleyball Women’s World Championship to be held in Switzerland

The FIVB has decided to conduct the Drawing of Lots for Phase 1 of the FIVB Volleyball Women’s World Championship at the FIVB Headquarters in Lausanne, Switzerland, and postpone the draw by at least one week.

The decision to move and reschedule the draw from Warsaw, Poland was taken in full cooperation with joint hosts the Polish Volleyball Federation and Dutch Volleyball Federation in view of the current situation in Ukraine. The date of the rescheduled draw will be communicated in due course.

The draw will be conducted in a closed, virtual format and verified by an independent auditor, with all participating teams able to view the proceedings live. The draw results will then be published in full on the Volleyball World website.
