President Boric after the visit of the Condors: “Success in France 2023, we are with you”

This Friday, President Gabriel Boric and Sports Minister Alexandra Benado visited the Cóndores High Performance Center after the rugby team invited them to the facilities.

There, the President was able to share with the players and tour the pitch and venue where the rugby players were empowered to achieve one of their greatest achievements in qualifying for the 2023 World Cup in France after beating the United States in a tight series in the playoffs that faced them.

Later, Gabriel Boric took to his Twitter account to thank his hosts. “Thank you very much Cóndores and Chile Rugby for inviting me to your home . This government, together with Minister Alexandra Benado, is committed to improving the conditions and quality of life of athletes in Chile,” he said. “Success in France 2023, we are with you “, he added later.

For her part, the minister also took advantage of her social networks to reinforce the president’s remarks. “Today we accompany President Gabriel Boric to the Rugby CAR since he had promised the Condors to visit his training house “, he pointed.

“Our commitment is to improve the infrastructure of the venue and to support the athletes in their preparation for the 2023 World Cup in France,” he added.

This is the second time that the team commanded by Pablo Lemoine has met the president, since last week the condors traveled to La Moneda after being invited for their meritorious classification in the specialty world championship.

During this meeting, which lasted about an hour, Benado was able to highlight what has been achieved by the team. “The president was able to receive the players who did a tremendous job, a tremendous effort. The idea is that this not only translates into being in a World Cup, which always costs us, but that it is the beginning and the definitive take-off of the development of rugby throughout the country. We know that today there are more than 13 associations in the Federation and we want to promote rugby”, began by saying the portfolio manager.

After qualifying, it was time to start preparing for next year’s World Cup challenge. And the task must be fully accomplished, as Argentina, England, Samoa and Japan feature in Group D alongside Chile. .

For the same reason, the federation has started working to establish friendly duels that can prepare them for duels. It will all start with two friendlies against Brazil scheduled for August 17 and 20 away from Santiago.

Then in November, taking advantage of the international window, the Condors plan to face three new teams ranked for the World Cup.
