Cuba, Dominican Republic, Mexico, and Guatemala Qualify for Asunción 2025

PARAMARIBO, September 21, 2024 - Following the conclusion of the 2024 Men's U23 Pan American Cup, NORCECA announced that Cuba, Dominican Republic, Mexico, and Guatemala have qualified for the Men's Volleyball tournament at the II Junior Pan American Games to take place in 2025 in Asunción, Paraguay.

The announcement was made by NORCECA President Cristóbal Marte Hoffiz during the closing ceremony of the Men's U23 Pan American Cup, held from September 16 to 21 in Paramaribo, Suriname.

The four teams secured their spots in the continent’s most important youth sports event, organized by Panam Sports, after completing the two-stage qualification process established by the NORCECA Confederation.

The first stage took place during the 2023 Men's U23 Pan American Cup held in Havana, Cuba, where Cuba emerged as the champion and the Dominican Republic as the runner-up, earning the first two NORCECA tickets.

The qualification was completed with Mexico and Guatemala, as they were the highest-ranked NORCECA teams not yet qualified from the 2024 Men's U23 Pan American Cup, securing the final two berths.

The four teams now set their sights on Asunción 2025 and will continue their preparation to achieve success on the Junior Pan American stage.
