Four teams to compete at Challenger Cups starting in 2019

SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic, May 27, 2018 – The NORCECA Challenger Cup to the FIVB Nations League will be contested by four teams per gender starting in 2019 instead of the six-team format used this year.

The NORCECA Executive Committee and Board of Administration approved the proposal to change the competition format presented by Cuban Ariel Sainz, president of the Sport Organization Commission on Sunday.

Those four teams would be the top ranked teams –not qualified to the FIVB League of Nations- according to the NORCECA Ranking as of January 1 of every year.

The teams will arrive to the hosting country on Wednesday to leave on Sunday after competing under a round-robin system.
