Madi enjoyed an action-packed trip to Thailand for the 2025 FIVB Women's Volleyball World Championship — but the next edition of the tournament will be much closer to home!
That’s because the United States and Canada are set to co-host the competition in 2027, in a huge boost to women’s volleyball in North America.
The final round is due to be held in Anaheim, California, with four other locations across the continent still to be determined. That quartet of cities will house pool stage matches and the round of 16.
Reacting to the news — and the awarding of the men’s competition to Qatar in 2029 — FIVB President Fabio Azevedo said:
“With the USA and Canada set to host the women’s edition in 2027 and Qatar staging the men’s event in 2029, we are confident in delivering unforgettable tournaments for athletes, fans and all global volleyball movement stakeholders.
“Taking the World Championships to new regions is an important step in growing our sport and sharing its values of collaboration, integration, peace and solidarity more widely across the globe.”
Madi will be hoping to feature for the United States again in 2027, of course, after starring for Erik Sullivan’s side in Thailand.
She put 42 points on the board for the USA in Nakhon Ratchasima and Bangkok, as the team reached the quarter-finals earlier this summer.
