On the afternoon of this Friday, the Grupotel Menorca Basketball Week starts in Maó, an international friendly tournament to be played as a quadrangular, and that will allow the island fans, more than three decades after the previous time (November 1987, then with the ‘absolute’), enjoy live a Spanish team, in the case of training (U19).
The Spanish team, together with a Balearic team formed for the occasion, and those from Mali and Senegal, make up the poster of participants of the event, preparatory for the World Cup of the category held in July, and most attractive in its prelude , since although it will bring together a bunch of players currently of little renown, surely some of them will stand out from now on on the international scene. The promises of today, the stars of tomorrow.
The U19 World Cup will be played between next July 3 and 11 in the Latvian cities of Daugavpils and Riga, a test of maximum demand for the Spanish team led by Madrid coach Javi Zamora – still pending renewal for Hestia Menorca -, and in whose journey the appointment of the Island is guessed capital, both to fit and adjust the pieces of a group that drags a year of deficit (since the pandemic aborted the celebration of the European U18 tournaments last summer), and to start define the definitive structure of the bloc that will compete and seek glory on Latvian soil.
