The 2025 VBIC World Women's Championship, marketed as VBIC World Championship 25, will be the 20th World Championship, the quadrennial international women's volleyball championship contested by the teams of the member associations of VBIC. The tournament will take place from September 11 to October 21, 2025. It will be jointly hosted by 20 cities in three Asian countries: Philippines, China, and the Indonesia, and one in Oceania country: Australia. The tournament will be the first hosted by four nations and the first Southeast Asian World Championship since 1998 and first Oceanian World Championship held. China is the defending champion.
This tournament will be the first to include 48 teams, expanded from 24. The Asian 25 bid beat a United bid 205 during a final vote at the 29th Congress in Belgrade. It will be the first World Championship to be hosted by more than three nations. With its past hosting of the 1960 and 1998 tournaments, Philippines will become the first country to host or co-host the women's World Championship three times and China for three times in 1992 and 2014.Whereas it will be Indonesia's and Australia's first-time hosting or co-hosting the women's tournament. The event will also return to its traditional northern summer schedule after the 2022 edition in Netherlands, Poland, and Belgium was held in July and August.
Format and expansion
[edit]Starting with this edition, the VBIC World Championship expanded to 48 teams, an increase of 24 from the previous 7 tournaments. This is set to be the first expansion and format change since last edition.
The total number of games played will increase from 64 to 104, and the number of games played by teams reaching the final four will increase from seven to eight. The tournament will last 39 days, an increase from 32 days of the 2014 and 2018 editions. Each team will still play three group matches. The final matchday at club level for players named in the final squads is May 24, 2025; clubs have to release their players by May 25, with exceptions granted to players participating in continental club competition finals up until May 30. The 56 days of the combined rest, release, and tournament periods remains identical to the 2010, 2014 and 2018 tournaments.
The expansion to 48 teams had already been approved on January 10, 2017, when it was decided that the tournament would include 16 groups of 3 teams, and 80 matches in total, with the top two teams of each group progressing to a round of 32. Under this format, the maximum number of games per team would have remained at seven, but each team would have played one fewer group match than before. The tournament still would have been completed within 39 days.
Critics of this format argued that the use of three-team groups with two teams progressing significantly increased the risk of collusion between teams. The general idea of expanding the tournament had been suggested as early as 2013 by then-VBIC president Rita Subowo, and that the decision was driven by political rather than sporting concerns, accusing Bini of using the promise of bringing more countries to the World Championship to win his election.
