Today the Americas qualifier will start, which will grant a place in next year’s Pre-Olympic, which will be a play-off a few months before the 2024 Paris Olympic Games. The contest will take place until next Sunday in Santiago del Estero and The matches can be watched from Uruguay through DirecTV channels 612 and 1612.
Uruguay, with sensitive casualties such as Luciano Parodi, Jayson Granger and Bruno Fitipaldo, in addition to those of the young Santiago Ubal and Santiago Véscovi, will try to add experience at the beginning of the second era of Gerardo Jauri at the helm of the team, but without expectations real to classify.
Los celestes lost by 49 points last week in a friendly against the local, so the outlook is not encouraging. It aims to broaden the base of eligible players and to give international filming to some who do not have a history at the selection level.
The headlines tonight against Colombia will be Nicola Pomoli, Joaquín Rodríguez, Emiliano Serres, Mathias Calfani and Kiril Wachsman. The squad is completed by Salvador Zanotta, Lucas Capalbo, Bernardo Barrera, Federico Soto, Martín Rojas, Sebastián Iglesias and Gonzalo Iglesias.
Both Uruguay and the rest of the teams know that Argentina is a natural candidate and that the Bahamas is also in this series, which cited four NBA players: Deandre Ayton and Eric Gordon (Phoenix Suns), Buddy Hield (Indiana Pacers) and Kai Jones (Charlotte Hornets).
