The 2009 FIVB Volleyball Men's Club World Championship was the 5th edition of the event. It was held in Doha, Qatar from 3 to 8 November 2009.
For the first time in an FIVB tournament, a new rule trialled during the FIVB Volleyball Men's Club World Championship Doha 2009 in order to âÂÂkeep the ball flyingâ and add value to a rally for the spectator. The Golden Formula playing system requires that the first attack for each team begins from the back row in an attempt to produce longer rallies.
