1xBet supports 2025 Women’s Volleyball World Championship

Global sports betting platform 1xBet has reaffirmed its strategic alliance with Volleyball World by backing the 2025 Women’s Volleyball World Championship as an official partner. This announcement marks the beginning of the 20th edition of the prestigious tournament, which will run from August 22 to September 7, 2025.

The event will be a central fixture in this year's sporting calendar, drawing attention from volleyball fans worldwide. As millions are expected to follow the matches, 1xPartners affiliates are positioned to benefit from increased traffic and engagement.

Volleyball momentum builds across continents

This year has seen a remarkable surge in global interest surrounding women’s volleyball. The FIVB Nations League, held between June 4 and July 27, featured matches in major global cities, including Ottawa, Rio de Janeiro, Hong Kong, Istanbul, Belgrade, Apeldoorn, Arlington, Chiba, and Łódź. The widespread locations underscore the growing international popularity of the sport.

Eighteen national teams participated in this edition of the Nations League, an increase from the previous tournament. This rise illustrates the expanding commercial appeal of women’s volleyball.

Italy secured the championship title with a 3–1 victory over Brazil, while Poland claimed third place by defeating Japan by the same scoreline. The win solidified Italy’s position at the top of the global rankings.

“Notice that the top 4 teams come from three different continents, which is a strong reason for 1xPartners affiliates to focus on volleyball content, especially while major football is on pause,” the company said.

Thailand to host largest Women's Volleyball Championship to date

Thailand, traditionally known for its tourism appeal, now becomes the focal point of the volleyball world. This year, the country will host an expanded version of the Women's Volleyball World Championship, offering not only elite competition but also broader representation.

The 2025 championship introduces two significant changes. To begin with, the tournament has expanded to include 32 national teams, up from the previous 24, significantly enhancing its global reach. Additionally, the FIVB has updated the competition’s frequency, shifting from a quadrennial format to one that now takes place every two years.

The championship will follow a familiar structure. The tournament format will feature 32 teams split across eight groups. The top two teams from each group will advance to a playoff round, where knockout matches will determine the champion.

Leading volleyball nations such as Italy, Brazil, the United States, and Serbia will compete for the title.

“The company stated the upcoming tournament is a unique chance to share volleyball content. 1xPartners program partners have access to a large collection of creative promo materials. They can use these to turn the tournament excitement into good commission earnings.”

Who are the favorites for the 2025 championship?

Italy enters as frontrunner

According to analysts at 1xBet, Italy is considered the leading team to follow closely in the 2025 championship. The Italian squad has shown dominant form, claiming the Nations League title and Olympic gold in Paris. However, their last Women's World Championship win dates back to 2002.

Key players like Anna Danesi, Cristina Kirikella, and Paola Egonu are expected to lead the charge in Italy’s quest for another world title.

Brazil remains a strong contender

Brazil's national team consistently ranks among the top in international volleyball. Despite falling to Serbia in the final three years ago, the team returned strong by winning bronze at the Paris Olympics and securing silver in the Nations League.

Athletes such as Gabi Guimarães, Julia Kudiess, and Macris Carneiro will look to elevate Brazil to championship glory in 2025.

Serbia eyes third straight world title

Serbia has dominated recent editions of the Women's World Championship, claiming consecutive titles. Star player Tijana Bošković remains active and is expected to lead the team’s campaign for a third consecutive title.

United States seen as potential dark horse

The American team cannot be discounted. Despite a loss to Italy in the Olympic final, the U.S. women demonstrated their strength and consistency throughout the season.

“What big competition is complete without a hidden favourite? At the upcoming World Championship, it will be the USA team. The American team should not be underestimated because they reached the final at the Paris Olympics, though they lost in straight sets to Italy.”

1xBet and Volleyball World partnership strengthens global volleyball

1xBet entered into a five-year sponsorship deal with Volleyball World, an organization established to enhance the global profile and market potential of the sport. The partnership includes premier events such as the Nations League, both men’s and women’s World Championships, Club World Championship, Beach Pro Tour Elite 16, Beach Pro Tour Challenge, and the Beach Volleyball World Championship.
