With 192 of the world’s best set to arrive down under, Aussie fans will have the opportunity to cheer on a record number of Australian teams including Australian Olympic medalist Taliqua Clancy, and Paris Olympians Izac Carracher, Mark Nicolaidis, Thomas Hodges and Zachery Schubert, who have all been announced as part of the Australian team.
As the host nation, Australia will boast the most number of teams providing not only current Olympians, but also Brisbane 2032 hopefuls, with the opportunity to represent their country on the world stage.
Among the 18 Australian athletes, 12 will make their World Championships debut, with South Australian fans in for a treat as five local athletes form part of the line up.
It will be an action packed 10 days of competition from 14 November through until the medal matches on 23 November, starting with a green and gold super session on the first day of the event – giving fans a chance to see an Aussie Men’s team, Aussie women’s Team and Olympic medalist in action on centre court.
Volleyball Australia National Performance Director Craig Marshall said: “We’re excited to confirm a record nine Australian teams for the 2025 World Championships in Adelaide.
“This World Championships was already shaping up to be a historic moment for our sport in Australia, and now with the most Australians selected to represent, there’s even more on the line.
“Representing your country is an honour that I know our athletes don’t take lightly, and the opportunity to do so on home soil in front of a home crowd, family and friends is one that they are all looking forward to.
“On behalf of Volleyball Australia, congratulations to the 18 athletes selected, and bring on the next 36 days until the World Championships begin,” he said.
