The 2023 Sitting Volleyball World Cup – Women's event was for the first time held in Cairo, Egypt.[1] The winners or highest ranked team not yet qualified, will advance to the 2024 Summer Paralympics. The reigning champions are United States, but they didn't enter this time around. China won the title, dispatching Canada 3–1 in the final.[2]

Host selection

Originally, Cairo was chosen as the replacement venue for the 2020 edition in Hangzhou, China after the Chinese withdrew because of the Covid-19 pandemic (the competition dates were 24–30 April).[3][4] However, on 12 March, it was confirmed the event would be postponed until further notice.[5] The tournament was going to commence on 10–15 December 2021. Although, for a second time, the event was postponed.[6][7] After multiple postponements, Cairo, Egypt was given the hosting rights on the 13 September 2022 for the 2023 edition.[1] This marks Egypt's first time organising the event.
