2026 Men’s Pan American Cup Set to Begin in Morelos
MORELOS, Mexico, August 7, 2026. – Ten national teams will
compete for the title at the 19th Men’s Pan American Cup, to be
held from August 9 to 16 at Poliforum 2 de la Universidad
Autónoma del Estado de Morelos (UAEM) in Morelos, Mexico.
The 2026 edition follows a historic 2025 tournament, when
Venezuela captured its first-ever Pan American Men's Cup title
by defeating Mexico in the championship match.
That triumph made Venezuela the seventh different country to win
the tournament. Canada completed the podium after overcoming
Chile in the bronze medal match
The ten participating teams are divided into two pools. Pool A
features Canada, Costa Rica, Puerto Rico, Trinidad and Tobago,
and the United States. Pool B includes Cuba, Curaçao, the
Dominican Republic, Guatemala, and host Mexico. Pool play will
be contested from August 9 to 13, followed by classification
matches, quarterfinals, semifinals, and the medal matches on
August 16.
Under the competition format, the winners of each pool advance
directly to the semifinals, while the second- and third-place
teams qualify for the quarterfinals. The remaining teams will
compete in classification matches to determine the final
standings.
The Men’s Pan American Cup continues to strengthen its position
as one of the premier events on the continental volleyball
calendar, providing national teams with valuable high-level
competition as they continue their preparation for upcoming
international events.
