Argentina won their fifth title after beating Brazil 3–0 in the final. Colombia defeated Chile also by a 3–0 score in the third place match to take the bronce medal.[3] These four teams qualified for the 2023 U19 World Championship, including fourth-place Chile, who qualified after Argentina was named hosts of that U19 World Championship, in January 2023.
Each national team had to register a squad of 14 players.[5] Players born on or after 1 January 2005 were eligible to compete in the tournament.
Competition format
The competition format depends on the number of participating teams. With 6 teams, two pools of three teams each were formed. The group standing procedure was as follows:[5]
Number of matches won;
Match points;
Match won 3–0: 3 match points for the winner, 0 match points for the loser
Match won 3–1: 3 match points for the winner, 0 match point for the loser
Match won 3–2: 2 match points for the winner, 1 match points 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 between involved teams.
The top two teams of each pool advanced to the semi-finals, with the winners playing the final and the losers playing the third place match. The third-placed teams of each group played the fifth place match.
