Argentina has just revealed the eight players who will travel to Doha for 2024 World Championships, October 28 to November 2The eight Albiceleste players will try to retain their title of world champions… and a 12th victory !
The experience with the big shots
Argentina has five of its big names: Agustín Tapia, Fede Chingotto, Martin Di Nenno, Franco Stupaczuk et Sanyo Gutierrez. The five Argentines are positioned between second and fifteenth place in the FIP ranking.
With the current form of Tapia, Chingotto, Di Nenno and Stupa, Argentina comes with clear intentions in this new World Cup. Sanyo Gutierrez will bring his experience of “veteran player", while bringing stability to the right.
Libaak, Chozas and Augsburger: the young people rewarded
The three surprises of the selection are probably Valentino Libaak, Alex Chozas et Leo AugsburgAged between 17 and 21, they will bring a breath of fresh air to the experience of the five other players mentioned earlier.
Leo Augsburger and Alex Chozas were awarded their recent results, having notably taken out pairs like Di Nenno / Lebron and having stood up to the world number 1s and Chingalan. For his part, Tino Libaak has made enormous progress on the right in one year, thus offering him this first selection.
Juan Tello and Fernando Belasteguin: the big absentees
The two big absentees from this selection are obviously Juan Tello et Fernando Belasteguin. The two Argentines have had a difficult season as a pair, reaching only'one and only semi-final' since the beginning of the year at Bordeaux P2.
Fernando Belasteguin will not have the chance to end his career with a final World Cup, as was the case with his former partner, Pablo Lima.

Except when it comes to going to watch the retransmission of Padel Magazine, World Padel Tour… or Premier Padel…or the French Championships. In short, she is a fan of this sport.
