With the presence of Facundo Campazzo as a great figure and captain, the Argentine basketball team will play its cards this Thursday to secure a ticket to the 2023 World Cup, which will be played in the Philippines, Japan and Indonesia. Starting at 9:30 p.m. at the Polideportivo de Mar del Plata stadium, Pablo Prigioni’s team will face Canada, already classified, with the premise of winning so as not to depend on other results.
With seven wins and three losses, the Argentine team shares second place with Venezuela and the Dominican Republic, the next opponent for Sunday’s game. As the first three qualify for the ecumenical event, two wins would deliver the ticket to the World Cup.
The presence of Campazzo, authorized by the Red Star for not being able to compete in the Euroleague, enhances the chances of the Albiceleste team, which fell to the Canadians in the match played in North America. However, the visitors arrived in Mar del Plata with a decimated squad, since, in addition to being classified, they cannot count on their NBA and Euroleague players either.
