Championship Returns After Six Years
NOGALES, Mexico, June 7, 2024. - The NORCECA U21 Men’s
Continental Championship will be held at Carlos Hernández Carrera
Gymnasium in Nogales, Sonora, Mexico from June 10 to 17, after six years
of absence.
The last edition of the NORCECA U21 Men’s Continental
Championship took place in 2018, and due to the problems caused by the
global COVID-19 pandemic, it could not be held every two years as it had
been since its creation in 1998.
The city of Nogales, Sonora in Mexico will host the
event, which is part of the qualification system for the FIVB U21 World
Championship in 2025.
Cuba is the current champion of the category, having won
the title six times.
They are followed by the United States with three gold
medals and Canada with two.
The 2024 edition will feature the participation of eight
teams divided into two groups: Group A with Nicaragua, Mexico, Suriname,
and the United States; and Group B consisting of Canada, Cuba,
Guatemala, and Puerto Rico.
The preliminary meeting is scheduled for Monday, June 10,
and pool-play begins on Tuesday, June 11.
