After two competition days at the IHF Trophy North America and the Caribbean - Zone II tournament, hosts Mexico (MEX) top the table, followed by Guadeloupe (GLP) and Puerto Rico (PUR) in both the youth and junior categories.

 

Day 2 started off with an 11-goal victory of Mexico against Guadeloupe in the youth tournament, a match which was followed by very special guests – Andrés Manuel López Obrador, newly-elected President of Mexico, Dr Thomas Bach, President of the International Olympic Committee, and Carlos Padilla, President of the Mexican Olympic Committee. The second match in this category was a nail-biter until the end, as Guadeloupe drew against Puerto Rico 27:27.

 

In the junior competition, Puerto Rico were not able to keep up with Mexico in the second half and lost 23:36.

 

All matches are streamed live on the website of the Mexican Olympic Committee.
