Everything Ready for the 8th Stop of the NORCECA Tour in El Salvador

SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador, September 11, 2025. – Everything is set for the start of the eighth stop of the 2025 NORCECA Beach Volleyball Tour, scheduled to take place September 12-14 at the Flor Blanca Beach Sports Stadium. Teams from twelve countries are officially registered, guaranteeing three days of high-level action for El Salvador’s fans.

The event will feature 15 women’s teams and 17 men’s teams, offering an exciting showcase of international talent.

In the women’s division, all eyes will be on Puerto Ricans María González and Allanis Navas, who arrive motivated after capturing their fifth consecutive gold medal last week and will now pursue their sixth title of the season. Also standing out is Canadian Dana Roskic, who won silver in El Salvador in 2024 and now returns alongside Katarina Pantovic, aiming to match or improve on her previous performance.

In the men’s division, favorites include the Mexican duo of Jorman Osuna and Miguel Sarabia. Osuna recently claimed silver in Zapopan and gold in Manzanillo with José Cárdenas, while together with Sarabia he earned gold in Juan Dolio and bronze in Puerto Cortés. Local fans will have the chance to cheer for the Guardado twins, who are hoping to reach the podium for the first time on home soil.

“Our greatest satisfaction is that each year more sponsors come on board and more teams join the competition, giving the Salvadoran public the chance to enjoy world-class beach volleyball,” he added.
