Quatro sedes dos Mundiais de base de 2027 foram confirmadas pelo Conselho de Administração da FIVB, que encerrou um processo de candidaturas cobrindo eventos sub-19 e sub-21 de vôlei e de vôlei de praia.
As quatro paradas abrangem três continentes: Astana para o Mundial Sub-19 feminino, Pune para o Mundial Sub-19 masculino, Puebla para os Mundiais Sub-19 de vôlei de praia e Roi Et para os Mundiais Sub-21 de vôlei de praia.
O Cazaquistão abre o calendário. Astana recebe o torneio Sub-19 feminino de 5 a 15 de agosto de 2027, com 24 seleções disputando 52 partidas. A Índia vem depois, no mesmo mês: Pune recebe o Sub-19 masculino de 19 a 29 de agosto, também com 24 seleções e 52 partidas.
O México então assume a areia. Puebla recebe os Mundiais Sub-19 de vôlei de praia feminino e masculino de 13 a 17 de outubro de 2027, com 104 duplas em 184 partidas. O país tem histórico na modalidade, tendo recebido o Campeonato Mundial de Vôlei de Praia da FIVB de 2023 em Tlaxcala, Huamantla e Apizaco.
A Tailândia fecha o ano. Roi Et recebe os Mundiais Sub-21 de vôlei de praia feminino e masculino de 26 a 31 de outubro de 2027, também com 104 duplas e 184 partidas.
A escolha tailandesa acontece num momento de euforia para o esporte no país: a seleção feminina acaba de garantir vaga em Los Angeles 2028 como campeã continental da Ásia, exemplo que a FIVB apresenta como inspiração para a próxima geração.
Nos quatro eventos, a entidade apresenta o circuito de base como o degrau entre a competição juvenil e o vôlei adulto: uma chance de jogadores em ascensão representarem seus países, medirem-se com os pares e ganharem experiência no nível mais alto disponível para a faixa de idade deles.
