  • The top three world ranked teams in each pool were to play three matches at home and two away with the bottom three world ranked teams playing twice at home and three times away.[3]

Pool C features teams ranked as the next best four in the World Ranking after the 12 teams in Pool A and B plus two additional teams, which were confirmed by the FIVB Executive Committee during its end of year meeting on 15 December 2012. The pools were announced on 1 December 2012.[3]
