We concluded a very successful cycle with a generation of highly accomplished players and coaches. We knew the human quality of each of the members of the team, so they deserve all the recognition and in the new stage that we are going to begin with the 2023 Pan American Games, several of them are going to announce their retirement from the team, so we think about the AmeriCup 2024, which will be made up of the majority who were in the World Cup and a good part of the White Team, which is made up of the players called to take the baton of those who have accomplished great things for the national team. I want to add that José “Grillito” Vargas will be the head, and Professor Alecia Landaeta will be the training director, Coello reported.

His commitment to the national team will be full-time and will be in each of the windows of the AmeriCup 2024, which begin next February. In reality, it gives us great satisfaction to have achieved this objective because it is a team of very talented young Venezuelans, who have excelled in the different commitments they have had to face and everything was done as a result of a long and permanent follow-up of each one of them. them,” added the Venezuelan basketball director.

All teams must show financial solvency and remain up to date with payments to their members.

We hope to reach a happy conclusion in both leagues for the good of Venezuelan basketball.
