Jamaica To Serve Off FIVB Men’s World Championship Qualifiers Tomorrow

Jamaica’s senior men’s volleyball team will begin their hunt for a place in next year’s FIVB Men’s World Championship in Italy tomorrow evening, when they face Haiti in their opening game in Group D of Round Two qualifying action at the National Indoor Sports Centre.

Mexico, St Lucia, Bahamas and Cayman are the other teams in Jamaica’s group, however Jamaica will only face Haiti and the Cayman Islands in the ‘preliminary’ round, and will then play a knockout game against one of the other teams based on their positions after these two games. The top two teams at the end of the tournament will move on to the next phase of qualifying.

Jamaica and favorites Mexico are widely expected to be the two qualifying teams. After tomorrow’s match, Jamaica will be in action once again on Friday (May 22) at 5:00 pm against the Cayman Islands at the same venue.
