FIVB Volleyball Men's Club World Championship
The FIVB Volleyball Men's Club World Championship is an international men's club volleyball competition organised by the Fédération Internationale de Volleyball, the sport's global governing body. The competition was first contested in 1989 in Italy. It was not held between 1993 and 2008, but since 2009, the competition has been held every year, and has been hosted by Qatar and Brazil.
The current format of the tournament involves eight teams competing for the title at venues within the host nation over a period of about one week; the winners of that year's AVC Club Volleyball Championship, African Clubs Championship, Men's South American Volleyball Club Championship and CEV Champions League, along with the host city's team and a nominated team from North America. The number of teams is increased through wild card invitees.
The current champions are Italy's Trentino, who defeated another Italian club Lube Civitanova 3–1 in the final of the 2018 edition, to win their fifth title in the competition and the first title since 2012. Italian teams have been the most successful, with nine titles.Results summary
