The titleholders Bolívar worked harder than expected to overcome Fiat Minas of Brazil, who play the tournament for the first time, by a 3-1 (25-23, 22-25, 25-22, 25-22). Cuban Jesús Herrera top-scored for the winning side with 17 points, while Alexis González made 83% reception (12 digs, 67% excellent). Argentinean Lucan Ocampo led Minas with 14 points.
In the other duel of the first day of the competition, the vice-champions Sesc beat Obras de San Juan from Argentina without complications (3-0).
Two more teams take part in this year’s Copa Libertadores and they will make their appearance on Day 2: Brazilian Sesi-SP and Argentinean Ciudad Voley. The tournament is played in a round-robin format, followed by the semifinals and finals, while the Argentinean and Brazilian clubs are separated into 2 different pools in terms of the ranking for the elimination stage.
