GET YOUR RED, WHITE, AND BLUE GEAR READY to cheer on the U.S. Men’s Volleyball National Team this fall. The team is currently ranked No. 1 in the region and No. 6 in the world. With statistics like these, the chance to watch the men’s national team compete is an opportunity to see history in the making right here in West Virginia.
The 2023 NORCECA Men’s Continental Volleyball Championship will take place at the Charleston Coliseum September 5–10. The U.S. Men’s team will play against Canada, Cuba, the Dominican Republic, Guatemala, Mexico, Puerto Rico, and Trinidad & Tobago.
The outcome of this tournament—and the final placement of the teams involved—will determine which teams receive points toward their world rankings. Those rankings will in turn be used to decide which teams qualify for the 2024 Olympic Games.
This tournament is the last one for the U.S. Men’s team until they participate in the qualifier for the 2024 Summer Olympic Games. If they qualify, the team will play in Paris during the summer games that are scheduled to run from July 26 to August 11, 2024.
To attend the tournament, purchase tickets online on Ticketmaster or at the Charleston Coliseum box office.
