The tournament in Huesca lays the foundation for the U17M on the road to the World Cup in Turkey.

Two weeks after making their World Cup debut in Turkey, Spain’s U17 team played its first minutes of preparation at a demanding tournament in Huesca. A treble competition in just 72 hours against three teams competing in a great continental event, which began with a win over Germany on Thursday night (58-50), which continued with a second positive step against Lithuania with us sharing the qualifying stage (69-50). 61), which ended in defeat from the always demanding France (62-71).

A very physical match in which, despite the defeat, it was already possible to see some of the details that will mark the performance of Joaquín Prado’s team, with a step forward in defense and good transitions, accompanied by clear ideas in the attacking game in the statics. In this way, the national team has strengthened the fundamentals of its game, providing the coaching staff with an important test bed with which to continue working in the coming days.

All in order to arrive in the best shape for the debut on the 29th in Turkey.
