In early March 2025, it was announced that Libya had been chosen to host the African U16 Boys' and U20 Men's Volleyball Championships in 2025,[11][12] which was confirmed by CAVB on 10 March 2025 with Tripoli as host city for the U16 event.[13][14] Subsequently, the CAVB decided to relocate the U16 Boys' tournament confirming Tunis, the capital of Tunisia, as the new host city on 10 August 2025.[1]
The competition took place at the Al Machatel Hall, a venue located in the Baldevebe Nursery west of Belvedere Park in Tunis.[3][15][16] The Al Machatel Hall had recently been inaugurated in July 2024.[17]
