The 2014 FIVB Men's Volleyball World Championship was held in Poland from 30
August to 21 September 2014. The tournament featured 24 teams to determine the
world champions in men's volleyball. In addition to the host nation Poland, 23 teams
qualified for the tournament through continental and regional competitions. The matches
took place in seven venues across seven Polish cities, with the final being played
at Spodek, Katowice.
The tournament was won by the hosts Poland, who beat Brazil (who had won the
previous three titles) in the final. Poland became the third team in the history of the
competition to be crowned as champions in their own country, joining the Soviet
Union (1952 and 1962) and Czechoslovakia (1966).[1]

563,263 fans[a] watched the matches during the 18-day event, smashing the previous
records in the competition. In Italy four years earlier, the total was 339,324, while in
Japan in 2006, it was 298,352.[2]

Information
On 4 September 2008 the FIVB announced it had agreed a partnership deal
for Poland to host the FIVB Men's Volleyball World Championship in 2014. "This will be
the biggest and most beautiful sports event in the world, not only in volleyball but
throughout the whole sports family," said FIVB Honorary Life President Rubén Acosta.
"Poland – I'm sure about it – will make this championship very special."

Acosta and FIVB President Wei Jizhong agreed the deal in Warsaw following
negotiations with the Polish Minister of Sport, Mirosław Drzewiecki; Mirosław Błaszczyk,
President of the Board of Administration of Polsat Television; Polsat Television Sports
Department Director, Marian Kmita and Polish Volleyball Federation President,
Mirosław Przedpełski.

Volleyball in Poland has enjoyed a huge surge in popularity during the 2000s. The
Polish Men's team finished as runners-up at the 2006 FIVB Men's Volleyball World
Championship in Japan and a year later, Katowice hosted one of the best-ever FIVB
Volleyball World League Final Rounds. The remaining 12 teams were drawn across the
bottom three positions of each of the four first round pools.

A record number of 279 teams participated in the qualification process for the 2014
FIVB Volleyball World Championships. This total, coming from 166 national federations
across the five FIVB confederations, represents an increase of 65 teams from the
previous best of 214 teams from 119 federations for the 2010 World Championships
(compared with 102 in 2006, 72 in 2002 and 63 in 1998).

Pools composition
First round
Teams were seeded in the first three positions of each pool following the serpentine
system according to their FIVB World Ranking as of 7 October 2013.[3] FIVB reserved
the right to seed the hosts as head of pool A regardless of the World Ranking. All teams
not seeded were drawn to take other available positions in the remaining lines, following
the World Ranking.[4] The draw was held in Warsaw, Poland on 27 January 2014.
Because the CAVB and NORCECA qualification process were in progress on 27
January 2014, the best world rankings of CAVB (13, 15 and 19) and NORCECA (4, 7,
11, 20 and 22) were used when the draw was made.[5] Rankings are shown in brackets
except the hosts who ranked 5th.
