Puerto Rico Crowned Back-to-Back NORCECA U17 Champions and Secures
World Championship Berth
MANAGUA, Nicaragua, November 23, 2025.– Puerto Rico captured
back-to-back titles at the NORCECA U17 Boys’ Continental
Championship and secured a berth to the FIVB 2026 World Championship
after defeating Cuba 3-1 (25-23, 25-22, 18-25, 25-22) in the gold
medal match. In a tightly contested final, Puerto Rico managed its
resources efficiently and prevailed over a resilient Cuban team that
fought hard in every set but fell short of its title
aspirations. This is Puerto Rico’s second consecutive championship;
two years ago in Mexico, they claimed the inaugural title after
defeating the hosts in four sets. In that edition, Cuba took home
the bronze medal. More
