Mar del Plata once again had a pre-World Cup FIBAwindow. It will be in February and will obviously host the Argentine basketball team, Canada and the Dominican Republic.
The Argentine basketball team aims to qualify for the World Cup that will take place in the Philippines, Japan and Indonesia from August 25 to September 10.
It is in fourth place in Zone E with 7 wins and 3 losses. The two matches that will close the second FIBA qualifying round will take place at the “Islas Malvinas” Sports Center Stadium. On Thursday, February 23, Argentina will face Canada and on Sunday, February 26, they will face the Dominican Republic.
The official presentation of this FIBA window took place in Mar del Plata and was attended by the National Sports Secretary, Inés Arrondo, authorities from the Argentine Olympic Committee, ENARD, the Argentine Basketball Confederation and the Mar del Plata Association of this discipline.
Canada is top and undefeated in the competition and just finished defeating Panama 112 to 71. For its part, the Dominican Republic has the same record as Argentina (7-3), and comes to the city after defeating Venezuela 72 to 68 in condition from local.
The cast of Pablo Prigioni has a brave fight against the leader and is unbeaten in Canada. In the Dominican Republic, their performances are similar and it is almost a final know that 7 teams from America have qualified for the World Cup to be held on the territory of Asia. But in order not to rely on other opportunities, Argentina must win at least one of the two matches on the land of Mar del Plata.
