The Cuban delegation will consist of seven men and six women, according to national commissioner Robinson Poll, as reported by the digital publication Jit.
Ălvarez returns to competition following his recovery from a surgical procedure that kept him out of the 2026 Central American and Caribbean Games in Santo Domingo and the recent Continental Championship in Puebla. The 2023 Tashkent World Championship silver medalist leads a team aiming to continue Cubaâs strong performance in this international event.
In the menâs division, alongside Ălvarez, the roster includes Ăngel Sober (50 kg), Deibys Abreu (55 kg), Rolando MartĂnez (60 kg), Keilor GarcĂa (80 kg), Fredisney Morales (90 kg), and Joel Duvergel (+90 kg).
The womenâs squad features Dayira Mesa (70 kg)âa champion at the 2026 Santo Domingo Gamesâas well as bronze medalists from that same regional event: Dinaibys de las Nieves (51 kg), Carysney GarcĂa (54 kg), Magda MassĂł (57 kg), and Keilor GarcĂa (80 kg). Rounding out the team are Melani Girado (60 kg) and Naybel Morado (75 kg).
