The Men’s National Basketball Team had its first practice today, Tuesday morning, as part of its preparation in search of a pass to the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, the Puerto Rico Basketball Federation reported in a statement.
The Olympic Repechage will be held from July 2 to 7 at the Puerto Rico Coliseum. It will be one of three Olympic qualification tournaments that FIBA will hold on the same date and in which they will compete for one ticket per tournament to the basketball championship in Paris.
In addition to the practice that took place at the Rubén Rodríguez Coliseum in Bayamón this morning, this afternoon the team worked on a physical training session at the Liv Fitness gym in Condado, the Federation added in the statement.

Star point guard José Alvarado will arrive in Puerto Rico tomorrow, Wednesday, in the afternoon, and will join practices the next day, the Federation added.
The troop led by Nelson Colón seeks a historic Olympic qualification in front of its fans in a tournament that will receive delegations from Italy, Mexico, Lithuania, Ivory Coast and Bahrain. The National Team saw action for the last time in an Olympics in the Athens 2004 edition. It qualified for that event in the Las Americas Pre-Olympic tournament at the Roberto Clemente Coliseum in San Juan in 2003.
In the Repechage, only the winner of the event punches his ticket to the Olympic Games.
The Women’s 5×5 Basketball Team has already qualified for Paris 2024. They will go to their second consecutive Olympics.
