On 4 December 2020, the AVC announced that the 2020 Asian Boys' U18 Volleyball Championship which was originally the AVC qualifier for the 2021 FIVB Volleyball Boys' U19 World Championship was canceled due to COVID-19 pandemic, and the top four teams of the tournament which had not yet qualified to the 2021 U19 World Championship qualified for the 2021 U19 World Championship as the AVC representatives.[3]

Pools composition

This was the first Asian U18 Championship which used the new competition format. Following the 2017 AVC Board of Administration's unanimous decision, the new format saw teams were drawn into six pools up to the total amount of the participating teams. Each team as well as the hosts was assigned into a pool according to their final standing of the 2017 edition. As the three best ranked teams were drawn in the same pool A, the next best three contested pool B, the next best three contested pool C.[4] But, Uzbekistan withdrew after the draw. Final standing of the 2017 edition are shown in brackets.

Pool A Pool B Pool C Pool D Pool E Pool F

 South Korea (2)  Chinese Taipei (5)  Sri Lanka (9)  India  Pakistan  Malaysia

Venues

Pool standing procedure

  1. Number of matches won
  2. Match points
  3. Sets ratio
  4. Points ratio
  5. If the tie continues as per the point ratio between two teams, the priority will be given to the team which won the last match between them. When the tie in points ratio is between three or more teams, a new classification of these teams in the terms of points 1, 2 and 3 will be made taking into consideration only the matches in which they were opposed to each other.

Match won 3–0 or 3–1: 3 match points for the winner, 0 match points for the loser
Match won 3–2: 2 match points for the winner, 1 match point for the loser

Preliminary round

  • All times are Iran Daylight Time (UTC+04:30).
  • Originally, the winners of pool D had to play against the third ranked team of pool E in the playoffs. However, due to the absence of Uzbekistan, there were only two teams in pool E, so the winners of pool D went directly to the round of 12.
