'The Disappointment Is huge:' Cuban Women's Volleyball Team Denied US Visa

  • Last week, Cuba's women's volleyball team was barred from the NORCECA Final Four in Manatí due to U.S. visa restrictions, affecting 12 athletes, a referee, and coaches.
  • The Trump administration's early June travel restrictions, including Cuba, led to the Cuban women's volleyball team's visa denial for the U.S.-based NORCECA tournament.
  • Athletes emphasized their daily training and the tournament's importance for ranking points, with coach Robinson noting missed matches will affect upcoming qualifications.
  • With the visa denial, the Cuban women's volleyball team likely misses the Nations League, jeopardizing qualification for the 2026 Central American and Caribbean Games and future World Championships.
  • Future prospects remain uncertain as Cuban coaches fear the visa ban could jeopardize their team's qualification for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics.
