The selective event was held in the city of Tijuana, Baja California last March; In this, some men’s teams participated in other states such as Aguascalientes, Chiapas, Sinaloa, Baja California, Chihuahua and Querétaro. Those chosen to travel to Portugal and representing Mexico were the people from Chihuahua and Queretaro, who showed all their talent and potential in the sport.
