Tuesday’s win earned Canada a berth at the 2027 FIVB Volleyball Men’s World Cup in Poland.

The tournament will also determine the teams that advance to next weekend’s final NORCECA qualification stage for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics.

“I’m really happy for the guys. They win 3-0 against a good team, even though Cuba is managing their lineup and resting some of their players,” said Canada head coach Dan Lewis. “This is a really high-quality team that we defeated tonight and it was a focused effort. It was a good second goal of the tournament.

“We qualify for World Cup – it’s good to take a moment for happiness and pride, and then it’s a quick reset to play the finals.”
