The championship trophy for the 2025 FIVB Men’s Volleyball World Championship has been unveiled ahead of the tournament’s opening on September 12 in the Philippines.
Standing 42.88 centimeters tall and weighing 9 kilograms, the trophy is made from 12 individual pieces representing the 12 players in a volleyball team’s rotation system.
The design forms a ball inside the structure, with colors transitioning from nickel to gold to symbolize a team’s rise to the world title. Its base features the names of past champions.
The production involved 120 hours of milling, 24 hours of hand polishing and mounting, and 60 hours of 3D programming. The design reflects the sport’s values of purity, performance, power, precision, and teamwork.
This will be the first time the Men’s World Championship is held in the Philippines and the first in Asia since 2006.
A record 32 teams will compete in matches at the SM Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay and the Smart Araneta Coliseum in Quezon City, with the Philippines facing Tunisia in the opening match.
