2025 AVC Men's Volleyball Champions League squads
This article shows the rosters of all participating teams at the 2025 AVC Men's Volleyball Champions League in Hirakata and Kyoto, Japan.[1]
Previously known as the Asian Men's Club Volleyball Championship, the AVC Men's Champions League allows each team can now have a maximum of three foreign players in its roster that can play at any time. Previously in the Club Championship, teams can only have two foreign players and only one of which can play at a time.[2]
For the purpose of quota, an athlete is a "foreign player" if their FIVB sporting nationality is different than the club's national volleyball federation affiliation. A player's FIVB sporting nationality is independent of their citizenship/s. A domestic league may also handle sporting nationality differently.
