The man from Tenerife will represent Spain in Paleta de Goma Masculina from September 14 to 20 in Venado Tuerto, along with Carlos Carmona, Markel Mendigutxía and Nacho Pacheco.
Hugo León, a native of Tenerife, will be the only Canarian representative in the X Under 23 Ratchet World Championship, which will be held between September 14 and 20 in Venado Tuerto, province of Santa Fe (Argentina). This young pelota player has been called up by the Spanish team to compete in the Men's Rubber Paddle category, one of the most notable events of the World Cup event. There he will share a team with Carlos Carmona, Markel Mendigutxía and Nacho Pacheco, under the direction of the national coach, Andrés Rabas.
Hugo's presence in this championship is a milestone for Canarian pelota, since he becomes the only player from the Archipelago who manages to make it into the squad. Their participation not only highlights the sporting talent that is cultivated in Tenerife, but also makes visible the international projection of Canarian athletes in less media disciplines, but with great tradition such as pelota.
In addition to his appointment in Argentina, Hugo León has also been preselected for the Nations League, which will be held in October in Mexico City. This double presence in high-level competitions confirms the trust placed in him and opens the door to continue consolidating his career at an international level.
In an interview with Buenos Días Canarias, on Televisión Canaria, Hugo shared his impressions about this important challenge, conveying enthusiasm, commitment and pride in representing Spain and the Canary Islands on a top-level sporting stage.
