2019 FIVB Men's Volleyball Challenger Cup qualification

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The 2019 FIVB Men's Volleyball Challenger Cup qualification was a series of tournaments held to decide which teams would play in the 2019 FIVB Men's Volleyball Challenger Cup. The 2019 Challenger Cup featured 6 teams. Only one place was allocated to the hosts. The remaining 5 places were determined by a qualification process, in which entrants from among the other teams from the five FIVB confederations competed.
