A bit like France, who does without his two best players, Léa Godallier and Alix Collombon, Spain will send a team devoid of its biggest stars.

Indeed, it is a group of young people that coach Juanjo Gutierrez has chosen for the competition with players who will all be under 23! We imagine that the fact that the tournament begins during the end of the WPT Valladolid Master had a great influence on the choice of players.

gentlemen

  • David Gala (17; 83 WPT)
  • Pablo Garcia (20; 72 WPT)
  • Alonso Rodriguez (20; 87 WPT)
  • Daniel Santigosa (19; 84 WPT)

Women

  • Marta Barrera (18; 33 WPTs)
  • Noa Canovas (19; 45 WPT)
  • Marta Caparros (22; 35 WPT)
  • Araceli Martinez (22; 40 WPT)

An obviously solid selection, but which is necessarily less scary than the teams sent to the World or European Championships, which include in their ranks Arturo Coello, Ale Galan, Juan Lebron, Ari Sanchez, Paula Josemaria and others.

Given the density of its team, especially among girls, Spain will be favorites in the competition despite everything, but it will not have the usual margin. We could therefore be entitled to small surprises!
