Cuban television is looking for options to broadcast the Volleyball Nations League.

In the midst of a wave of criticism due to the absence of the Cuban team on screen, while the rights for the Eurocup and the Copa America were paid, Television is negotiating with the International Volleyball Federation to obtain the signal for the last four games of the team.

Cuban television is using its "last bullet" in an effort to broadcast the closing week of the 2024 Men's Nations League volleyball, which is of great interest to the national men's team as they are playing for their qualification to the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.

Amid a wave of criticism due to the absence of the team on screens, while the rights for the Eurocopa and Copa America were paid, the institution's executives are making arrangements with the International Federation of the discipline to obtain the signal for the four matches of the Cuban team, as reported by the sports specialized website Por la Goma.

According to its post on the social network Facebook, there are still possibilities to please those who follow the performance of coach Jesús Cruz's team, which will play a large portion of the Olympic ticket on Wednesday, June 19 when they face Serbia in Slovenia.

Cubans and Serbians are fighting for the last available ticket based on ranking, with 250.64 and 251.55 points, respectively. In fact, the duel is categorized as "life or death," even though they have three other matches afterwards that could change their situations.

In the case of the Caribbean team, they will then compete against the host, Slovenia, Bulgaria, and Poland, the leader of the universal list and considered the best team at the moment.

Also at stake will be the opportunity to advance to the final phase of the competition. However, it is important to clarify that these matches will not be taken into account to determine the spots for Paris 2024.

So far, the Cuban fanbase has been following the cast's performance through alternative means, spending data on social networks and often suffering from the slowness of the internet on the island.

On the other hand, Telerebelde is broadcasting each of the Euro matches these days, and the same will happen when the Copa América kicks off; that is, decision-makers chose to give greater prominence to overseas events, even though they reportedly entered negotiations earlier and are now striving to change the situation.

Cuba Calendar:

June 19: Cuba-Serbia.

June 20: Cuba-Slovenia.

June 21: Cuba-Bulgaria.

June 23: Cuba-Poland.
