Montpellier, Nantes, and Paris were chosen to host the part of EuroVolley 2019 which went to France, one of the four co-organizers of the tournament. The other three countries (Slovenia, Belgium, and The Netherlands) are yet to reveal the names of the venues which will embrace a total of 24 national teams.
Montpellier, Nantes, and Paris beat the other 22 cities that were in contention to host the European Championship, as the FFV wanted to cover the entire country.
