Guatemala Closes Pan American Cup with Victory over Antigua and Barbuda

LEÓN, Guanajuato, August 21, 2025.- Guatemala concluded the 18th Senior Men’s Pan American Volleyball Cup with a 3-0 (25-10, 25-16, 25-17) victory over Antigua and Barbuda at the Domo de la Feria in León.

Guatemala finished in 11th place of the competition with a 1-5 record, while Antigua and Barbuda ended the tournament winless.

The Central American squad celebrated the victory by dominating in attacks 43-22, in blocks 8-5, and committing fewer errors (15-23). Both teams scored one direct service ace.

Andy Leonardo led all scorers with 15 points (13 attacks, one block, one ace), while Yeferson Zavala added 13 points (12 attacks, one block) for Guatemala.

On the other side, Adrian Constant stood out for Antigua and Barbuda with 9 points, all from attacks.

Guatemala’s coach, Reider Lucas, said: “We finished with a victory, a result that came after things didn’t go well for us yesterday. The previous match was a bad experience: things didn’t work out, we couldn’t use our captain due to injury in the last two matches, and the attitude wasn’t good. This was a very good competition for Guatemala, a high-level event, and progress has been made.”
