The 2025 Men's Volleyball Copa América was the inaugural edition of the Copa América, the annual second-tier international volleyball competition organised by the Confederación Sudamericana de Voleibol (CSV) for men's national teams of South America. It was held in Betim, Brazil from 25 to 29 June 2025.[1][2]
The Copa América was announced in 2024 as a competition for teams that do not participate in the FIVB Men's Volleyball Nations League, including guest teams from North, Central America and Caribbean Volleyball Confederation (NORCECA).[3]
Brazil won the first Copa América title after finishing first of the single group. Runners-up Argentina and third-place Venezuela completed the podium.[4]

Brazil was announced as host country of the tournament on 30 May 2025,[6] with Betim being confirmed as host city on 12 June 2025.[1][7]
The competition was entirely played at the Ginásio Poliesportivo Divino Ferreira Braga.[8]
Teams
Five of the twelve CSV member associations entered the tournament. Initially Mexico had confirmed their presence as a NORCECA guest team, however, they had to decline their participation due to visa issues.[9]
Since Argentina and Brazil were playing in the 2025 FIVB Men's Volleyball Nations League, both fielded alternate teams.[10] Argentina fielded a squad of U21 and senior players,[11] while Brazil fielded a combination of U23, U26 and senior players.[12]
Competition format
The competition format consisted of a single group which was played on a single round-robin basis.[13] No finals or placement matches were played. The group standing procedure was as follows:[14]
- Total number of victories (matches won, matches lost);
- Match points;
- Match won 3–0 or 3–1: 3 points for the winner, 0 points for the loser
- Match won 3–2: 2 points for the winner, 1 point for the loser
- Match forfeited: 3 points for the winner, 0 points (0–25, 0–25, 0–25) for the loser
- Sets ratio;
- Points ratio;
- If the tie continues between two teams: result of the last match between the tied teams. If the tie continues between three or more teams: a new classification would be made taking into consideration only the matches involving the teams in question.
