Guillermo Adroher, U-20 World Cup player with the futsal team

Between November 18-26, the U-20 Futsal World Cup was held in the Colombian city of Valledupar, bringing together the best teams in the world. The Catalan national team was present in this competition with a former student of our school and player on our senior teams: Guillem Adroher.

A few months ago we announced that the Catalan team had been proclaimed European champions, and this time, we have to announce that they have finished the World Cup as the 4th best team in the world. After more than ten days of the Championship, our player Guille comments the following:

My experience at the World Cup in Colombia has been, without a doubt, the best of my life, sportingly speaking.

The European victory in February made us set out with a common goal: to try to reach as high as possible in this new challenge that was presented to us. This goal was initially to face the group stage and reach the third match of the league with possibilities to qualify for the quarter-finals, that is, to classify Catalonia among the 8 best U-20 teams in the world.

With this mentality we set off for Valledupar, the host city of the tournament. From the first moment we felt very welcome: the people were very kind to us and, above all, the SPECTACULAR Coliseo Cubierto Julio Monsalvo, the stadium where the matches would take place.

After an impeccable championship, despite falling in the semifinals to the favorite, we finished the competition in 4th place. The pride for the work done was infinite, we had worked hard, we were more than proud of our feat. In addition, we demonstrated to the other federations the courage of the Catalans, for which we received many congratulations.

In summary:

CATALONIA WAS THE FOURTH BEST TEAM IN THE WORLD!

A historic event for the federation.

This is where our trip ends, we returned to Barcelona with a smile from ear to ear and more than satisfied. Personally, I had been part of a truly unrepeatable adventure that was possible thanks to the opportunity they gave me 2 years ago, when I started to be part of the Senior At School. Without my teammates and the demands of each training, it would not have been possible.

Many congratulations to the selection and especially to you, Guille!
