MANAGUA, Nicaragua, November 12, 2025. – The second edition of the NORCECA Volleyball Boys’ U17 Continental Championship is set to take place from November 18 to 23 at the Alexis Argüello Multisports Complex in Managua, Nicaragua.
The tournament will serve as a qualifier for the 2026 FIVB Volleyball Boys’ U17 World Championship, to be held in Doha, Qatar. At least the NORCECA champion will earn a berth to the world event, with the FIVB expected to confirm the total number of qualification spots for the NORCECA Confederation at a later date.
A total of eight teams will compete in the continental event, divided into two pools:
- Pool A: Barbados, Costa Rica, Nicaragua (host), and Puerto Rico (defending champion)
- Pool B: Cuba, Dominican Republic, Mexico, and United States
Puerto Rico, the reigning champion, captured the gold medal at the inaugural edition of the championship in 2023 in Poza Rica, Veracruz, Mexico. They defeated the host team Mexico 3-1 (25-23, 24-26, 25-16, 25-20) in the final, finishing the tournament with a perfect 5-0 record. Cuba earned the bronze medal after sweeping Costa Rica 3-0 (25-11, 25-12, 25-22).
In Managua, the first-place finishers from each pool will advance directly to the semifinals, while the second and third-placed teams will battle in the quarterfinals for a spot among the top four.
The event promises to showcase the best young volleyball talent from across the NORCECA region as teams vie for continental glory and a chance to compete on the world stage.
