Dominican Republic, Mexico, Cuba, and Costa Rica Qualify for Junior Pan Am Games

XALAPA, Mexico, September 8, 2024.– The qualification process for the Women’s Volleyball Tournament at the second Junior Pan American Games in Asunción, Paraguay 2025 has successfully concluded, with the Dominican Republic, Mexico, Cuba, and Costa Rica as the teams that will represent NORCECA.

The announcement was made by NORCECA President, Cristóbal Marte Hoffiz, during the closing ceremony of the U23 Women’s Pan American Cup, which concluded on Sunday in Xalapa.

The four teams secured their berths 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 U23 Women’s Pan American Cup held in Hermosillo, Sonora, Mexico, where the first two berths were awarded to the Dominican Republic and Mexico, who were the top-ranked NORCECA teams in the event.

The qualification process was completed today, with Cuba and Costa Rica, as the highest-ranked non-qualified NORCECA teams, securing the remaining two berths after the conclusion of the 2024 U23 Women’s Pan American Cup in Xalapa, Veracruz, Mexico.

The path to qualification has been challenging, and the four teams have demonstrated their high level of play and determination in these two tournaments.

Now, with their sights set on Asunción 2025, these national teams will continue their preparation to achieve success on the Pan American stage.
