2025 AVC Men's Volleyball Nations Cup
Updated: 12/11/2025, 12:53:24 PM Wikipedia source
The 2025 AVC Men's Volleyball Nations Cup was the first of the newly rebranded AVC Men's Volleyball Nations Cup, and sixth overall edition of the formerly known AVC Men's Challenge Cup, an annual international volleyball tournament organised by the Asian Volleyball Confederation (AVC) with Bahrain Volleyball Association (BVA). It was held from 17 to 24 June 2025 in Manama, Bahrain. As the FIVB Volleyball Nations League restructured its format and abolished the Challenger Cup as a direct qualifier to the tournament, this tournament will serve to countries currently not participating in the Nations League to garner world ranking points for a chance to enter the said competition. Bahrain, the champions of this tournament qualified for the 2026 Asian Championship. Host Bahrain won their first title after defeating the Pakistan in the final. This was Pakistan's second consecutive defeat in the final of the tournament. Qatar beat South Korea in the 3rd place match and took the bronze medal. Mohamed Abdulla Yaqoob was named as the MVP of the tournament. Suspension of the final match was considered due to security issues arising from the Iranian strikes on Al Udeid Air Base. However the plan was dropped after guarantees from the host country's government and federation.
