Next to the Olympic Games, the World Championship is the most prestigious event in the world of volleyball. 24 teams will compete for the title of World Champion, a title that can only be captured once every four years. 

2010 marked the 16^th time that this event has occurred. The first Men’s World Championship took place in 1949 in Prague, Czechoslovakia. The first time the Canadian Men’s team competed was in 1974 in Mexico City, Mexico where they finished in 20^th place. Canada has also competed in the 1978 (20^th place), 1982 (11^th place), 1990 (12^th place), 1994 (10^th place), 1998 (12^th place), 2002 (17^th place), and 2006 (11^th place) games. 

In 2010, Canada’s goal was to finish within the top 10 teams.

2010 will mark the 16^th time that this event has occurred. The first Women’s World Championship took place in 1952 in the Soviet Union. The first time the Canadian Women’s team competed was in 1974 in Guadalajara, Mexico where they finished in 11^th place. Canada has also competed in the 1978 (14^th place), 1982 (11^th place), 1986 (15^th place), 1990 (14^th place) and 2002 (18^th place) games. 

In 2005, Canada lost to Mexico to qualify for the 2006 World Championships, but in 2009 Canada returned the favor, beating Mexico in 5 sets on Mexico’s home turf to earn a berth in 2010.

In 2010, Canada’s goal is to finish within the top 16 teams.   

The drawing of lots for the FIVB Women's World Championship took place in November, 2009.  Much like the men's team, the women find themselves in a tough pool.  They will face China, Russia, Korea, Dominican Republic and Turkey.
