“Winning titles always leaves a mark. And, when it comes to an international competition, victory comes with unique experiences. Playing against opponents from a different culture, who speak a different language. Everything adds even more value to the achievement. As I tell our athletes, it’s about playing to win, but always in our own way, respecting our values and our game. That’s why this title has a special flavor. We won that way”, declared the commander.
In the semi-final, Flu scored 12-0 against El Peñol, a victory similar to the one achieved against Imer Rio Negro, in the second round: 13-1. The kids opened the campaign with a 7-0 victory over Perla Verde San Luis and ended the classification phase by defeating Pipe Uribe 8-0.
It is worth noting that the team had already won the ES Cup U13, even playing in a category above their age group. The base divisions of the Warrior Team total 22 trophies in 2025.
