The squad includes world champions Lazaro Alvarez (56 kg) and Julio Cesar La Cruz (81), world runner up Yasnier Toledo ( 64) and Beijing 2008 Olympic silver medalist Carlos Banteur (75).

Luis Oliva (69), who is enrolled in a group that will soon cover a preparatory stay in Cayman Islands, returned to the island from Mexico City.
The Romanian competition reappears in the calendar and according to its organizers will also bring together the best exponents of Russia, which would give a high level to the event almost at the gates of the World Championship agreed for October in Kazakhstan.
