Pan-American volleyball no longer coming to Prince George
Between February 2019 and March 2020, Prince George was set to host three international sporting events. Now, the list is one shorter.
Shortly after the success of the World Para Nordic Skiing Championships in Prince George, Volleyball Canada has announced the 2019 Pan-American Volleyball Cup is no longer coming to the city.
The U19 volleyball tournament was set for July 22nd to 28th, 2019 and was to serve as a qualifying event for the U19 Volleyball World Championships hosted in August.
Prince George was announced as the host in November, but shortly after, the International Volleyball Federation decided that teams needed to qualify for Worlds by May, two months earlier than the event was scheduled for.
