Men’s U21 Pan American Cup Ready to Kick Off in Calgary

CALGARY, Alberta, Canada, August 3, 2025.- A key showcase for the next generation of volleyball stars, the 2025 NORCECA U21 Men’s Pan American Cup is set to take center stage at the 7 Chiefs Sportsplex & Chief Jim Starlight Centre in Calgary, Alberta, from August 5 to 10.

Six national teams will battle for the title: Barbados, host Canada, Chile, Mexico, Puerto Rico, and the United States.

Participating NORCECA National Teams are eligible and qualified to participate in the 2026 NORCECA Continental Championship.

The last U21 Pan Am Cup was held in Cuba in 2023, and Cuba won that tournament over the USA for the gold. Canada was bronze medalist after beating Puerto Rico in the final for third place.

Action begins August 5 with a round-robin preliminary stage running through August 9. The top two squads will fight for gold, while the third and fourth seeds clash for bronze. The remaining teams will face off to determine the final standings.
