Polish President signed a relevant document, through which nearly a 22-year-old Cuban Leon has become a Polish citizen. Now he is closer to obtain the possibility of wearing a white-and-red jersey of Polish national team.

“I declare that I will do everything that is in my power to deserve the honor to play in the Polish National Team. By obtaining the Polish citizenship I gained a tremendous motivation to be the best in any upcoming tournament and to make impression to the head coach of Poland. Therefore, I clearly stress that my goal to receive the Polish citizenship was not led by financial considerations, but only by life and sports. I will continue living in this country with my fiance and continue making investments. In consideration of my situation I would ask all not to look for any political overtones associated with Cuba. I am a native Cuban, I’ve got my family there and my trip was related only to personal matters. Greetings to all volleyball fans in Poland and those who support me on my way in sports and in life,“ Leon sent a statement to the media.

 

We remind you what Polish legendary female player, Katarzyna Skowrońska-Dolata, said about possibility of León’s playing for the Polish NT.

Don’t forget what coach Stéphane Antiga said about Leon situation.
