Puerto Rico to Receive Forfeited Beach Volleyball Match

Why this matters: The success of Puerto Rico’s beach volleyball teams in international competitions can boost the island’s sports reputation and attract more tourists to its beaches.

The Puerto Rico men’s beach volleyball duo, composed of Daniel Rivera and William Figueroa, will receive a forfeited match against Martinica due to an injury, improving their record to 3-0. They had previously defeated St. Kitts 21-7 and 21-10. The pair will face Nicaragua, also 2-0, on Wednesday to determine the top spot in Group C. Meanwhile, the women’s duo, consisting of Allanis Navas and María González, won 21-4 and 21-2 against St. Kitts and will face Cuba, also 2-0, on Tuesday.

Both men’s and women’s beach volleyball teams have a preliminary round with five groups of five teams each, with the top two teams from each group advancing to the quarterfinals.
