The 2020 Men's U20 Volleyball European Championship was the 27th edition of the Men's Junior European Volleyball Championship, organised by Europe's governing volleyball body, the CEV. The tournament was held in Brno and Kuřim, Czech Republic from 26 September to 4 October 2020. The top two teams of the tournament qualified for the 2021 FIVB Volleyball Men's U21 World Championship as the CEV representatives.[1] But with runners-up Italy hosting the 2021 U21 World Championship together with Bulgaria, 3rd place Belgium joined the field for the 2021 U21 World Championship as well.[2]

Players must be born on or after 1 January 2001.

Qualification

The second and third round qualification were canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the remaining eleven spots were allocated according to the Men's U20 CEV European Ranking as of 1 June 2019.[3][4] But, Turkey and Ukraine withdrew just before the beginning of the tournament because a small number of their players tested positive for the novel coronavirus shortly upon arrival in the Czech Republic.[5]

Pools composition

[edit]

Hosts Czech Republic and Russia, the top team from the Men's U20 CEV European Ranking as of 1 June 2019,[4] were directly placed as head of pool I and II respectively. All teams not seeded were placed to five pots as based on their Men's U20 CEV European Ranking as of 1 June 2019 position and drawn accordingly into pool I and II. In case several teams shared the same position, the teams were seeded as per the final standing of the 2018 Men's U20 European Championship. The draw was held in Luxembourg City, Luxembourg on 27 August 2020.[1] But, Turkey and Ukraine withdrew after the draw. Rankings are shown in brackets except the hosts who ranked 5th.
