Cuba is the heavy favorite to claim the ticket to the Final Round of the 2010 Men’s World Championship when the third round NORCECA Pool H tournament gets under way here on Friday.
The Cubans arrive at the competition to be played at Ciudad Deportiva’ Gymnasium after a successful season in the 2009 edition of the FIVB World League and several of their players were part of the team that finished as runners-up in the FIVB Men’s Junior World Championship in Pune, India.
Cuba, currently 18th in the FIVB World Rankings, will present the same lineup that finished fourth in the World League. The squad is led by Wilfredo Leon, the new sensation of Cuban volleyball. Other prominent members include captain Roberlandy Simon, Henry Bell, Odelvis Dominico and Osmany Camejo.
