Bulgaria has registered 25 female volleyball players for the upcoming FIVB Volleyball Women's World Championship, which will take place in Thailand from August 22 to September 7, 2025. This is an extended squad, from which head coach Antonina Zetova will determine the final group to represent the country at the championship.

The list includes the names of established national players, but the inclusion of several young athletes from the U19 and U21 squads also makes an impression, as they will gain experience at the highest level.
