ISF U15 World School Volleyball Championship 2025 Confirmed to Take Place in China

Jun. 30, Lausanne, Switzerland – The International School Sport Federation (ISF) is proud to officially announce that the ISF U15 World School Volleyball Championship 2025 will be held from 4 to 13 December 2025 in Shangluo, P.R. China.

The confirmation follows an on-site inspection by ISF President Mr. Željko Tanasković and Executive Director Mrs. Hasnae El Ayoubi, who visited Shangluo in June 2025 to evaluate the city’s infrastructure, accommodation, and event organisation capabilities. After a series of successful meetings and site visits, ISF is pleased to confirm Shangluo as the host city of this important international youth volleyball event.

Organised in close cooperation with the China Student Sports Federation (CSSF), the 2025 edition marks the second ever ISF U15 WSC Volleyball, following its successful inauguration in Poreč, Croatia in 2019.

Shangluo is no stranger to international volleyball, having hosted the FIVB U19 Beach Volleyball World Championships 2024. With a strategic vision to develop into a "City of Volleyball", Shangluo offers strong infrastructure and institutional support, making it an ideal host for this event.

CSSF, as one of ISF’s most active members, has consistently demonstrated organisational excellence, notably by hosting the first ISF Football World Cup in Dalian in 2024, with the next edition scheduled for 2026 in Suzhou.

The first phase of Registration for participating teams is now open until 3 September 2025. ISF invites member and non-member organisations to join this global celebration of school sport, offering U15 student-athletes a unique platform for competition, learning, and cultural exchange.
