Besides Cuban Yoandy Leal, who is now allowed to compete with Brazilian National Team, the FIVB closed cases of 13 more volleyball players who requested the change of sports nationality. Interestingly, two requests of the same weight as Leal’s were not approved at this meeting – Wilfredo León’s from Cuban to Polish sports nationality and Leonel Marshall’s from Cuban to Italian. Both will still have to wait for their turn…
