The 2024 Asian Men's U18 Volleyball Championship was the 15th edition of the Asian Men's U18 Volleyball Championship, a biennial international volleyball tournament organised by the Asian Volleyball Confederation (AVC) with Bahrain Volleyball Association (BVA). The tournament took place in Manama, Bahrain from 27 July to 4 August.[1][2]
This tournament served as the qualification tournament for the FIVB Volleyball Boys' U19 World Championship. The top four teams of the tournament qualified for the 2025 FIVB Volleyball Boys' U19 World Championship as the AVC representatives.[3]
Players must be born on or after January 1, 2007. Asia U18 players who have already played once in the FIVB U19 Championship cannot play in AVC U18 Championship as it is a qualification event for the following year of FIVB U19 event. In principle, the players can participate in Asian U18 and FIVB U19 only once.[4]
