This Saturday, July 15, the Women’s U19 World Cup begins, the great summer event in the Community of Madrid, the opportunity to see the best promises of women’s basketball live. Spain, which last year was proclaimed runner-up in Europe U18, starts among the favourites, although with the permission of the United States (current world champion), Lithuania (European champion), Canada and two of their rivals in the first phase: Australia and France.

Ticketing
And it is that group A starts as the group of death with Spain (second in the FIBA Power Ranking), Australia (third), France (fourth) and Argentina (13th). The selection led by Bernard Canute will debut on Saturday at 8:15 p.m., at the Espartales Sports Complex in Alcalá de Henares against Australia. On Sunday at the same time and in the same place the important clash against France will be played and, after a rest day, the first phase will close on Tuesday 18 (8:45 p.m.) in the Jorge Garbajosa pavilion in Torrejón de Ardoz against Argentina.
All the teams will go to the round of 16, although the position obtained in the first phase conditions the crosses. Group A will meet Group B, made up of Mali, Germany, China and the United States. That is to say, finishing quarters would condemn them to face the world champion. On the other side of the draw, Lithuania starts as the main favorite in group C and Canada in D.
The round of 16 matches will be held in Torrejón and Alcalá (which will also host the matches for places 5th to 16th). Starting from the quarterfinals, the final draw will go to the WiZink Center in Madrid, where, under an innovative LED track, on Sunday, July 23, the world champion team will be known.
