Scaloni presented the squad for the Powerchair World Championships in Qatar 2022 in style

Lionel Scaloni emulated the aforementioned video which presented the definitive list of the 26 players who made up the Qatar 2022 squad to give life to the call for the Powerchair World Cup (motorized wheelchair football). The DT of La Scaloneta did it in complicity with Sebastián Tiserthe national coach, who presented the list of players who will make up the Argentine team that will travel to the World Cup in Australia.

“This is the team that will represent Argentina in the 2023 Powerchair World Cup“, were the words with which Scaloni opened the video, simply showing his face and in a very similar way to when he did it in Qatar, even if this time it was a list of 8 eight names that make up the national team.

The Powerchair World Cup will take place from From 11 to 22 October in Australia and those chosen to represent the albiceleste are: Khaleb Manzur, Lisandro Uretti, Agustín Zanoli, Valentino Zegarelli (captain), Heber López, Arturo Rodríguez, Matías Vignola and Juan Bautista D’Angelo.

Furthermore, after mentioning the players, Scaloni returned to make an appearance at the end commenting: “I’m sure that just like we did in Qatar, you will give everything to best represent our shirt and our country”.

This gesture made by the national football team strategist was recognized by Tisera, who was very grateful for this gesture: “We only have words of thanks to Scaloni for joining with the best predisposition to participate in the video where I had to give the official squad list for the World Cup in Australia. Having the support of the world champion coach is very important. When players found out, they were all excited. And I also tell Lionel to stay calm because this team of players will leave everything like he did in Qatar ”.

Argentina, the reigning South American champions, will be one of ten teams going in pursuit of the world championship in the sport. The rest of the participating nations are: France (current world champion), Australia, Denmark, Ireland, England, Uruguay, United States, Japan, Northern Ireland and Argentina. The format of the tournament will be all against all in the initial phase and the top four will go to the semifinals.

In the last World Cup played in the United States in 2017, the national team took seventh place and this time they will try to enter the top four.

As far as definition goes, Powerchair Football is a mixed sport created for people who use a motorized wheelchair for daily life. Most players suffer from conditions such as SMA (Spinal Muscular Atrophy) and severe spinal cord injuries.

THE Powerchair Soccer Argentina Foundation was created 10 years ago and is a non-profit organization developing the only sport adapted for people using motorized wheelchairs in the country. It has 115 affiliated athletes and works to improve the quality of life of its players, promote their independence and enhance their skills.

The Argentina Foundation is part of the Federation Internationale de Powerchair Football Association (FIPFA)international body that brings together 32 countries, and the Argentine Paralympic Committee (COPAR).

The video in which the world champion coach appears not only served as a small reference to the times of Qatar 2022, but also helped promote the sixth Annual Solidarity Dinner organized every year by the Fundación Argentina Powerchair. This time it will take place next Tuesday, April 18, at 8:00 pm, from The rural.

Likewise, this event is celebrated year after year with a particular purpose. The main objective of the 2023 dinner is to raise funds to cover the expenses of sports equipment, tickets, accommodation, meals and transfers of the team, coaching staff and Powerchair team staff at this World Cup in Australia.
