“We are very happy with this invitation because it is a new experience for our kids. I have already met the Swedish, Slovak and Austrian academies, Vienna, and they are all among the most important youth sectors in their countries – comments Lorenzo Gandolfi, head of the youth sector -. Even the Spanish academy, Next Hoops, often has very interesting kids. The under 18 group (born 2006 and 2007) is the fusion of our two groups Under 19 and Under 17, we also bring kids from 2008 and for this reason we are the youngest team in the tournament and we are very proud of it.”
