Turkey defeated the home team in straight sets in the final to claim their first title in the competition.

"[5] The FIVB Sports Events Council revealed a proposal to streamline the number of teams participating in the Age Group World Championships.

It is hoped that the new scoring system will reduce overall duration of matches, while making each set more attractive and exciting – much as tie-breaks are under the current regulations.

During and after the competition, players, coaches, referees and officials will be evaluating the new system through a questionnaire, while duration and scoring statistics will be gathered and analysed.

In addition to the scoring system, a new serving regulation will be tried out in Cairo, with the server not allowed to land inside the court after a jump service.
