| Men's Asian U18 Championship | |
The 2018 Asian Men's U18 Volleyball Championship was the 12th edition of the Asian Men's U18 Volleyball Championship, a biennial international volleyball tournament organised by the Asian Volleyball Confederation (AVC), that year with the Islamic Republic of Iran Volleyball Federation (IRIVF). The tournament was held in Tabriz, Iran from 29 June to 6 July 2018.[1][2] The top four teams of the tournament qualified for the 2019 FIVB Volleyball Boys' U19 World Championship as AVC's representatives.
To participate, players must have been born on or after 1 January 2001, and they could only enroll for a maximum of one championship.
On 14 December 2020, the AVC announced that the 2020 Men's Asian U18 Volleyball Championship, which was originally the AVC qualifier for the 2021 FIVB Volleyball Boys' U19 World Championship, was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and that the top four teams of the 2018 tournament that had not yet qualified to the 2021 U19 World Championship would now be qualified for the same Championship as AVC's representatives.[3]
