The Cuban delegation will consist of seven men and six women, according to national commissioner Robinson Poll, as reported by the digital publication Jit.<\/p>\n

\u00c1lvarez 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 Cuba\u2019s strong performance in this international event.<\/p>\n

In the men\u2019s division, alongside \u00c1lvarez, the roster includes \u00c1ngel Sober (50 kg), Deibys Abreu (55 kg), Rolando Mart\u00ednez (60 kg), Keilor Garc\u00eda (80 kg), Fredisney Morales (90 kg), and Joel Duvergel (+90 kg).<\/p>\n

The women\u2019s squad features Dayira Mesa (70 kg)\u2014a champion at the 2026 Santo Domingo Games\u2014as well as bronze medalists from that same regional event: Dinaibys de las Nieves (51 kg), Carysney Garc\u00eda (54 kg), Magda Mass\u00f3 (57 kg), and Keilor Garc\u00eda (80 kg). Rounding out the team are Melani Girado (60 kg) and Naybel Morado (75 kg).<\/p>\n

In the previous edition of the tournament, Cuba secured three gold titles\u2014won by Saidel Horta (57 kg), Jorge Cu\u00e9llar (71 kg), and Nelson Williams (92 kg)\u2014along with two bronze medals, earned by Arianne Imbert (66 kg) and Yoana Rodr\u00edguez (75 kg).<\/p>\n
