2020 Asian Boys' U18 Volleyball Championship

The 2020 Asian Boys' U18 Volleyball Championship was originally to be the 13th edition of the Asian Boys' U19 Volleyball Championship, a biennial international volleyball tournament organised by the Asian Volleyball Confederation (AVC) with Islamic Republic of Iran Volleyball Federation (IRIVF). The tournament was scheduled to be held in Shiraz, Iran from 9 to 16 January 2021. It was originally scheduled to take place in Riffa, Bahrain from 7 to 14 July 2020, but was postponed to 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[1] On 14 December 2020, AVC finally canceled the tournament in light of the COVID-19 pandemic.[2] As the tournament which was originally the AVC qualifier for the 2021 FIVB Volleyball Boys' U19 World Championship was canceled, the top four teams of the 2018 Asian Boys' U18 Volleyball Championship which had not yet qualified to the 2021 U19 World Championship qualified for the 2021 U19 World Championship as the AVC representatives.[3][2]
