The Caribbean Zonal Volleyball Association (Cazova), headed by T&T's Mushtaque Mohammed, will support Cristobal Marte Hoffiz for president of the North, Central America and Caribbean Volleyball Confederation (Norceca) at its election in October. The motion of confidence was inspired by Hoffiz's commitment to development since his election. The Norceca president has been an advocate for equitable rights to participation in tournaments, access to resources to all countries in Norceca, as well as increasing the levels of participation in all areas of the sport.
According to Mohammed, Hoffiz has been a driving force in the regional growth of the sport. "He has, and continues to be both a leader and a friend to each country and individual without discrimination." Despite calls to throw his hat into the race to become the FIVB President, Hoffiz explained that he is still undecided due to both family commitments and his professional goals for the continued development of the Norceca region.
