Asunción, Agencia IP.- The National Secretariat of Sports (SND, by its acronym in Spanish) officially presented the XIV FIP Juniors World Paddle Championship, which will meet juvenile selection from 16 countries in an intense competence week that will take place on the SND Arena as a main scenario. This sports World Cup also allows training as volunteers in different areas.
In that sense, Ricardo Deggeller, General Director of Sports from the SND, stated that attachés for the different delegations are required, especially in English, Italian, French, Arab, Swedish, and Portuguese, English being the primary language. “The delegations from Italy, France, United States of America, Belgium, Egypt, Sweden, Brazil, Portugal, and the United Arab Emirates, so we open the call to those interested in being part of this World Cup as language links,” he said. The volunteers will have tasks from November 12 to 19, and those interested will have to contact Deggeller at the email: rdeggeller@snd.gov.py
The Paddle World Cup will occur in Asunción, Paraguay, from November 13 to 18 with two venue stages: a central court installed especially for the competition at the SND Arena and the fields of Quinta Sports. The program of the World Cup will be launched in the coming days. Tickets to the general public will be completely free.
For the last five years, the Paraguayan Paddle Federation has been promoting a process of development in the disciplines from all over the country, which translated into the world title of the junior category achieved in the last ecumenical event and, on this occasion, will be defended by the national team.
In September 2021, our country won the Juniors World Paddle Championship in Mexico. Samuel Rodríguez, Sebastián Rodríguez, Facundo Dehnike, and Genaro Campuzano earned the World Champions in Mexican lands.
Two years later, the national team will defend the title at home, hosting one of the most anticipated world events for the young athletes cultivating this exciting discipline.
Why will Asunción be the host?
The “Mother of Cities” was chosen to host the championship thanks to the effort made by the Paraguayan Paddle Federation and the American Paddle Federation. The location selection has two main factors that helped this decision: First, the Paraguayan’s national selection is the current junior world champion. The second reason is the recent antecedent of the World Paddle Tour circuit. Paraguay left pleasant impressions with the excellent work carried out.
Historically, Paraguay will host the “FIP Juniors Paddle World Championship” since 90% of the championships took place in Europe, once in North America and now, for the first time, in South America.
The competition will count on the presence of athletes from Paraguay, Argentina, Mexico, Italy, Brazil, France, Chile, the United States of America, Uruguay, Belgium, Egypt, Spain, Ecuador, the United Arab Emirates, Sweden and Portugal, counting on 16 masculine teams and 14 feminine.
