During the interview with The Crackthe charismatic teacher highlighted the relevance of this competition for the sports development of young people and his efforts to promote activities such as badminton, a sport that he has managed to promote in Avellaneda and throughout the province of Santa Fe.

In addition, he explained that the format of the competition has evolved over the years, highlighting how in its beginnings the province of Santa Fe allowed the participation exclusively of school and non-federated students, which, according to him, offered a more inclusive perspective. and educational.
However, Buseghin expressed his concern about the recent reduction of disciplines in the Evita Games, explaining that only sports with a projection towards the Dakar 2026 Youth Games have been preserved.

Badminton, one of the disciplines that Buseghin has promoted in the region, had a special role. Through his association, he has worked to establish a solid structure in Santa Fe, managing to organize provincial championships and motivating more young people to become interested in the sport.

In addition, he urged to seek more agreements between schools, clubs and municipalities to improve infrastructure and access to different sports.
Finally, Buseghin thanked everyone who has supported his initiatives and expressed his hope that young people in the region can continue to have access to this type of competition, vital for their personal and sporting growth.
