1. INTRODUCTION
The European Volleyball Confederation is pleased to open the registration procedure for the second edition of the 2019 CEV U16 Women / U17 Men Volleyball European Championship.
We are still looking for organisers for the Men’s and Women’s Final Round. However both Finals are scheduled to take place around July 2019.
This Championship will be managed and processed through the CEV database and therefore we ask all National Federations to apply the necessary accuracy while working with it.
It remains the sole responsibility of the NFs to respect all Communications, Regulations, Guidelines and institutional decisions to guarantee the delivery of correct, accurate and complete data at any time that these are required.
The regulations in force are the ‘CEV Volleyball Competitions Regulations’, and these are available as an e-book here: http://ebook.cev.lu/competitions/regulations/CEV_Volleyball_Competitions_Regulations.pdf All participants are required to be aware of the relevant contents of this document, in particular the specific provisions in Chapter 27. This and subsequent ‘Official Communications’ are available as an e-book here:
http://ebook.cev.lu/competitions/ech/2019_CEV_U16_U17_ECH_OC.pdf
We also refer you to the latest version of the ‘CEV Organisation Guidelines for National Team Competitions’ which can be found here:
http://ebook.cev.lu/competitions/nforganiser/
If you have any questions at any time please contact the CEV Volleyball Department. For this competition, those working on it during the evenings and weekends have the support of the ‘Competitions Hotline’ on: +352 621 25 34 44

2. REGISTRATION PROCEDURE AND DEADLINE
The registration for this edition will be done through the CEV Database using the following form:
01CH (Team Registration)
The registration deadline for closing and sending the above mentioned form is:
Monday June 4, 2018 at 23:59 CET
After closing the form on-line, National Federations must click ‘Print Form’ and then sign and stamp the paper copy and send it by registered letter to the CEV Office.
This must also be sent with a post mark dated on or before the above mentioned deadline for the registration to be valid.
On this form there are tick boxes to inform CEV if the respective National Federation intends to apply to organise one of the 2nd Round qualification tournaments.
However, the definitive application forms and required procedure for applying to organise a tournament will be sent to all NFs after the registrations are confirmed in Official Communication No. 2.
3. COMPETITION FORMATS AND DATES
The 2019 competition will be structured as follows:
1ST ROUND (ZONAL)
The 1st round will be organised in each of the six CEV Zonal Associations. Following the registration, CEV will inform each about the exact number of National Federations from their respective zone who have registered for participation.
Moreover, further to a decision made by the CEV Board of Administration last year in Moscow, a minimum of 40% of the respective National Federations have to register for participation in order for the zonal event to count as a 1st round qualifier for the European Championship.
If one or more Zonal Associations fail to fulfil this requirement, depending on the total number of teams registered for participation in the championship, their teams might:
- have to join those from another zone to compete in the first stage of the qualification process
- join a qualifying round including teams from different zones put together as per the results of a Drawing of Lots
- move on straight to the 2nd Round organised by the CEV, with a maximum of 20 teams per gender participating in this round.
Released on: 4th May 2018

Page 4 of 5
Each Zonal Association shall organise their qualification stage according to the calendar set by CEV for this round (i.e. before 15th January 2019).
In each tournament, the first placed team qualifies directly to the Final Round.
2ND ROUND
The 2nd round is organised with a maximum of 20 National Federations who competed in, but did not qualify from the 1st round to the Final round.
Such number is reduced to 16 in case the Organiser of the Final round is composed of 2 National Federations.
COMPETITION FORMAT:
The 2nd Round will be played using the single round robin tournaments format (i.e. one tournament “one against each other”).
Each 2nd Round tournament will be played with minimum three and maximum four teams.
The teams in each 2nd Round pool will play one tournament over three competition days with two matches per day.
Each of the four National Federations involved has the right to apply for the organisation of the tournament.
Should more than one National Federations apply for the organisation, the organisers will be drawn by the CEV.
Should less than one National Federations apply for the organisation, the organiser will be drawn by the CEV.
In each pool, the first best placed team qualifies to the Final round.
In case of a vacancy in the Final round, the next best placed of all pools qualifies to the Final round.

1. ORGANISATION OF THE FINAL ROUND
The appointment of the Organisers of Final Rounds were approved during the last CEV Board of
Administration meeting, the Final Round organisations were granted as follows:
- 2019 CEV U16 Women Volleyball European Championship Final Round
in ITALY and CROATIA between July 13-21, 2019 (exact venues and dates TBC)
(players born on 1st January 2004 or thereafter)
- 2019 CEV U17 Men Volleyball European Championship Final Round
in Sofia (BUL) between July 13-21, 2019
(players born on 1st January 2003 or thereafter)
The Final Round is organised with the following twelve National Federations:
The Organiser(s) are directly qualified, i.e. Bulgaria (men) and Italy and Croatia (women)
The five winners from the 1st Round (if one of the Final Round organisers wins the 1st Round of
its Zone, the runner-up from that Zone qualifies in that case)
The five pool winners from the 2nd Round, and for the U17 Men’s competition also the best 2nd
placed team across all five pools will qualify.
As mentioned above, the winner of each zonal qualifier will directly qualify to the Final Round. As the
BVA already played their 1st Round tournament and Bulgaria won the U17 Men tournament, and with
Bulgaria now granted the Final Round organisation, the 2nd placed team from BVA, i.e. Turkey, qualifies
to the Final Round directly.
In the U16 women’s competition, Croatia decided to compete in the 1st Round qualification, but in case
they win that qualifier, also the 2nd placed team from their zonal tournament (MEVZA) will qualify to the
Finals.
2. 2ND ROUND VACANCIES
The 2nd Round is organised with a maximum of 20 National Federations not qualified from the 1st Round.
Due to the fact the SCA (Small Countries Association) will not organise their Zonal qualifiers the number
of teams competing in the 2nd Round for U16 women was increased to 20 and not 16 teams as
communicated earlier.
National Federations are allocated to pools composed of 3 to 4 National Federations. In each pool, the
first best-placed team qualifies to the Final Round. In the U17 men’s competition, also the best 2nd
placed team among all five pools will qualify to the Final Round.
The vacancies of teams to be qualified per various Zones to the 2nd round has been calculated based
on each Zone’s contribution to the total number of registered teams, that means:
BVA EEVZA MEVZA NEVZA WEVZA
U16W 3 5 5 3 4 20
U17M 4 5 5 2 4 20

8. SOCIAL MEDIA COVERAGE
Social media play a very important key role in the promotion of our sport and this competition. The players, seen their age, are the most active users of social media and organisers / participating teams should use social media as intensively as possible in order to promote Volleyball with these age groups. As you will be aware, CEV now operates on four social media platforms, namely:
Facebook EuroVolley (www.facebook.com/CEVEuroVolley)
Facebook CEV (www.facebook.com/CEVolleyball)
Twitter EuroVolley (www.twitter.com/CEVEuroVolley)
Twitter CEV(www.twitter.com/CEVolleyball)
YouTube (www.youtube.com/CEVolleyball)
Instagram (www.instagram.com/cevolleyball)
National Federations are requested to link to these whenever posting or tweeting about the championships. We are also able to confirm that the official #hashtags for use are:
#Volleyball – when referring to the sport of Volleyball
#EuroVolleyU16W – when referring to the women’s competition
#EuroVolleyU17M – when referring to the men’s competition National Federations with teams competing are expected to engage and support the CEV Communications Department with the following:
o Promote the championships via their own social media channels on a regular basis o Use the above mentioned official competition hashtags whenever posting about the
championships o Share on your social media behind the scene photos and video footage, showing the
social side of players and staff, which can be re-tweeted or shared further on by the CEV.
o Provide CEV with additional content to distribute on social media: the best promotion comes from the players themselves.
o These are European Competitions; please adjust content so that it can be comprehensive for fans across all participating countries: dominantly in English. Use multilingual posting to have bigger reach with own fan base.
o Strive for quality and comprehensiveness of both photos and video footage suitable for social media platforms.
o Produce additional video material, such as mixed zone interviews in English, for publishing across social media channels,
o Engage with the CEV and other participating federations on social media by liking, sharing, reposting, following, retweeting, favouriting content.
