Competition format
Qualification
Sixteen teams will participate in the final tournament in Xiamen, with the host and the defending champion will qualify automatically. Continental qualifying tournaments were held to determine the winner of allocated continental slots (4 from Asia and Europe, and 1 each from Africa, Oceania and Pan Am). The remaining slots were determined via team rankings. As China is both the host team and the defending champion, an extra slot from world ranking is opened.
The draw for the tournament will be conducted on 13 March 2025, at 15:00 CST, in Xiamen, China. The 16 teams will be drawn into four groups of four.
The teams were allocated to four pots based on the World Team Rankings of 4 March 2025. Pot 1 contained the top seed China (which were assigned to position A1).
