Pools composition

The draw for the pools composition was held on 31 March 2023 at the FIVB headquarters in Lausanne, Switzerland.[6] The 16 teams were split into four pools of four. The hosts Bahrain and the top seven teams of the Men's U21 FIVB World Ranking in force at that time (as of 24 October 2022) were seeded in the first two positions of each pool following the serpentine system. FIVB reserved the right to seed the host team as head of pool A regardless of their position in the World Ranking. The remaining 8 teams were divided into three pots of four, according to their position in the same Boys' U19 FIVB World Ranking, in order to be drawn to complete the following two positions in each pool.[7]

Men's U21 FIVB World Ranking of each team as of 24 October 2022 are shown in brackets, except the hosts Bahrain who ranked 23rd.[8]

Seeded teams		Teams to be drawn

The draw procedure also followed the serpentine system and was as follows:[7]

Teams from pot 1 were drawn first and were placed in line 3 of each pool starting from pool A to pool D.
Teams from pot 2 were then drawn and placed in line 4 of each pool starting from pool D to pool A.
