The Chilean scorer has received great news not only for him but also for us, filling us with pride and satisfaction. Daniel Ríos has been selected among the twelve players who will represent Chile in the upcoming FIBA ​​U-16 Americas, to be played in Xalapa, Mexico, from August 23 to 29.

In addition, the future new torrejonero Benjamín Araneda, who will arrive shortly to join our development program, has been selected by Cristian Santander. Osvaldo Deocares, reference of our Cadet this season that just ended, was one of the last cuts of the group but we know that his opportunity will come.

Chile is one of the three teams representing South America along with Argentina and Brazil, automatically classified to the continental tournament that grants four places to the FIBA ​​U-17 World Cup in 2022 to be held here in Spain, in Alicante and La Nucia. They have classified automatically by FIBAs ranking points as the South American U-15 FIBA, canceled due to the COVID outbreaks, has not been carried out. The austral team already has its group and schedule defined, and will face the Dominican Republic on August 23, Puerto Rico the next day, and close the group stage against the favorite, the United States on August 25. The best two from each group qualify for the semi-finals of the event.

Congratulations, Dani and Benja!
