The XI Women’s Pan American Cup scheduled for July 2012 – Volleyball news
The 11th edition of Women’s Pan American Volleyball Cup is coming up in 2012 with its great flavours.
The tournament will take place from July 4 to 14 under the supervision of North, Central America and Caribbean Volleyball Federation (NORCECA). Mexican City Ciudad Juarez will set up the field of play for the NORCECA campaign for second year in row.
Initially, Peru was supposed to host the XI Pan Am Cup but had to withdraw, which created fair chance for Mexico to serve as the host of the enchanting competition for second consecutive year. Peru is likely to host the next edition of the tournament.
The Pan American Cup is one of the most significant events of NORCECA. It serves as a qualifying stage to the FIVB World Grand Prix. The top four NORCECA and top two South American teams take part in the biggest annual FIVB campaign.
A total 12 teams have been registered for the XI Pan American Volleyball Cup. The grid of twelve teams will be composed of four South American teams and eight teams from NORCECA. Here is the list of participating teams:
Canada Costa Rica Cuba Dominican Republic United States Trinidad and Tobago Puerto Rico Mexico Argentina – CSV Brazil – CSV Colombia – CSV Peru – CSV
Brazil will enter the competition with the tag of defending champion. Last year, the South American team Brazil had a tough competition with the Caribbean team of Dominican Republic. However, Dominican Republic could not hinder the performance of Brazilians
and ended up as a runner-up in the competition.
Brazil and Dominican both qualified for the 2012 FIVB Grand Prix via 2011 Pan American Cup. In addition, Argentina qualified for the international event as South American country, United States, Cuba, and Puerto Rico also earned tickets to the FIVB World
Grand Prix as Caribbean teams.
There is enough time for teams to prepare for the upcoming Pan American Volleyball Cup. Brazilian team is enjoying a great form and intends to defend the title. Likewise, the American team is also eyeing the title trophy of Pan Am Cup.
Let’s wait until the start of the tournament and then the real story will be unfolded that who is better in the game.
