The 1992 women's Olympic volleyball tournament was the eighth edition of the event, organised by the world's governing body, the FIVB in conjunction with the International Olympic Committee. The competition in Barcelona, Spain was held from 29 July to 8 August 1992 in three venues in the city: the Palau d'Esports, the Pavelló de la Vall d'Hebron and the Palau Sant Jordi, where the semi-finals and finals were played.[1]

1. China was the 1990 World Championship runners-up (champions Soviet Union, were already qualified as 1988 Olympic champions).
2. Japan was the 1991 Asian Championship runners-up (champions China, were already qualified as 1990 World Championship runners-up).
3. The Netherlands was the 1991 European Championship runners-up (champions Soviet Union, were already qualified as 1988 Olympic champions).
4. The United States was fourth at the 1991 World Cup (champions Cuba, runners-up China and third place Soviet Union were already qualified through other tournaments).

With the dissolution of the Soviet Union in December 1991, most of its now independent Republics formed the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) and competed together as the Unified Team.

Format[edit]

Compared to four years earlier, the format of the tournament underwent some changes.The tournament was played in two different stages. In the Preliminary round (first stage), the eight participants were divided into two pools of four teams in a single round-robin format was played within each pool to determine the teams position. At the Final round (second stage) the first placed teams in each group qualified directly for the semi-finals, while the second and third placed teams in the Olympic crossover system would face each other in an extra round consisting of a single elimination round with the winners advancing to the semi-finals and those eliminated playing a game to define fifth place. The winners of these two games faced those already qualified for the semifinals and while the winners played in the final, the losers played in the bronze medal match.
