If professional players tend to migrate to Madrid to train, we see that Andalusia remains the first provider of selections.

Indeed, it is simply half of the Spanish selection who flew to Dubai who was born in Andalusia ! Among the men, six of the eight players are Andalusians, plus their coach Juanjo Gutiérrez, from Malaga. That's a total of 7 out of 9! We find :

  • Juan Lebron (Cádiz)
  • Paquito Navarro (Seville)
  • Momo González (Málaga)
  • Alex Ruiz (Málaga)
  • Javi Garrido (Cordoba)
  • Miguel Yanguas (Málaga)

Among the girls, two players are also Andalusian: Victoria Iglesias (Seville) and Bea Gonzalez (Malaga).

In addition to all these selected players, there are many Andalusians in the world top. Among them Xisco Gil, Javi Leal Javi Ruiz, Gonzalo Rubio, Marta Caparros…

From there to soon create a high-level Andalucia pole? Not impossible according to Paquito Navarro himself!
