International volleyball's most prestigious event opened a new era for the sport, with the top teams in the world gathering every four years to compete for the world title. The inaugural edition of the FIVB Volleyball Women's World Championship took place in 1952, just three years after the first edition of the men’s tournament. And 70 years later, the Netherlands and Poland will hold the 19th edition of the competition from September 23 through October 15, in what will be the climax of the season for the leading teams in the world.
