For its part, the Under-17 Cadet category is made up of the Groups: Andalusia, Navarra, Canarias and Murcia (A); Galicia, the Balearic Islands, Melilla and Aragon (B); Valencia, Madrid, Cantabria and Extremadura (C); Asturias, Catalonia, Castilla-León and Castilla-La Mancha (D).
After the group stage, which will be played between Thursday and Friday, the elimination rounds will be played on Saturday and Sunday, depending on the position reached in the first round.
Mixed luck
On the other hand, the Melilla teams have had mixed luck, since in the Cadet category they will face Galicia and the Balearic Islands, which have international players, “although with Aragon, we would supposedly play third place” in Group B.
For its part, the Group in the Children’s category “is somewhat more open”, with the Balearic Islands being the great favorite, and in which Melilla has the potential to make a good classification.
The Melilla expedition will depart on Wednesday by air to Malaga, from where it will continue by bus to Punta Umbría (Huelva). In that town, he will stay throughout the Championship at the Hotel Barceló Punta Umbría Mar.
