The Uruguayans immediately began the qualifying tournament for the World Cup in the Central and South American Region (SCAHC) with a very important success, defeating Chile, the biggest rival of the last five World Cups, 28 to 25, which is the current runner-up. . Uruguay also eliminated Brazilians and Argentines in line with the role, but thanks to the success against Paraguay and Bolivia, they finally finished third in the tournament, securing their place on the straight in the battle of Egypt. It is a noteworthy moment about the qualifying tournament that Uruguay won the match against Bolivia at 55-1 after 24-0!
Of course, the Uruguayan team traveled to the now 32-team World Cup with much more modest goals, with a tough defeat in the first round: Germany, which was nowhere near the strongest in the tournament, defeated 43-14.
Of course, Uruguay, with a population of three and a half million, with a certified handball player in 1950, according to the IHF, was already a great success, since Jorge Botejara The Federal Captain said: “A long-awaited move for handball in the country.” Botejara, by the way, has been a coach in Uruguay since 1987, and the women’s team also led the World Cup for the first time under her leadership. In addition, by qualifying for the tournament with the men’s team, handball has become the first collective sport in the country’s history to reach the World Adult Championships in both men’s and women’s disciplines.
National Sport Online contacted Jorge Botejara prior to the tournament, who was willing to answer our questions in the email. The expert said that handball does not have a very long tradition in Uruguay, but its popularity has been growing recently.
| “Uruguay will gain a lot of experience in the World Cup, where we will find teams stronger than us that perform at a higher level in all elements of the game. That is why we also have to play at a higher level. We are modest, we know our limitations and that makes us stronger to achieve our goals ”. He said in an interview with the international federation Nicolas Fabra, the captain of the Uruguayan team, who also added that the team is on a solid footing, the players are hungry for development and want to write more history as rookies. |
“In Uruguay, more women play handball than men. I can’t say the exact number, but handball is present in many schools across the country. We do not have professional players with a professional contract in the country, but some of them are legionaries in the second Spanish and Italian divisions, as well as in Sweden ”. He told the OSN Jorge Botejara.
According to him, handball is currently in a stage of strong development in his country, and the biggest problem is the lack of infrastructure. Since there are not enough free careers, there is little time for the education of the young; More investment would be needed for development, both in terms of material and human resources. In addition, according to the federal captain, it would be very important that more of his players were present in Europe, since this is one of the keys to the development and leveling of the national team.

“We have been working for twenty years to live this moment. This is a very important success for some people who have worked very hard in very difficult circumstances. Furthermore, this success can motivate the whole Uruguayan handball family ” The Uruguayan specialist answered the question of what it means for the national team to be the first to reach the World Cup.

“We will play against Uruguay released, with confidence, with the fewest possible errors” – He said Mikler roland before the game on Sunday night. According to the Hungarian goalkeeper, the ideal against Uruguay would be if they could play the game against the erected wall, therefore, they don’t necessarily have to rush (down). István Gulyás however, he spoke that they certainly are not asking the team to slow down the game and not take the opportunity from which they can score easy goals. The federal captain added Goals will also be set against the South Americans for goals scored and goals scored to keep the kids on fire.. He also said that those who did not play in the first game will definitely get a role in the second. An exception to this could be Rodríguez Pedro, since according to IHF rules, there can only be two players located in a sixteen-man match. László Nagy said it, his replacement will be part of the tactic. Richard Bodó arrived in Giza on Saturday night, And after mandatory protocol, if all of your coronavirus tests are negative, you can join the team on Sunday morning. |
Botejara said six teams participated in the Uruguayan men’s handball tournament last season. The regular season played out with moderate interest, but there were plenty of spectators in the finale. The captain mentioned in an interview on the tournament’s official website that their preparations for the World Cup were far from ideal: they couldn’t train indoors due to the coronavirus epidemic, so they were forced to practice outdoors. In addition, due to the stoppage caused by the pandemic, they could not play any preparatory matches and the national championship had to be suspended.
The federal captain also revealed what kind of game we can expect from the Uruguayan national team.
“We believe that the ‘good game’ is the only way to develop. As a coach, I am especially aware of the need to adapt strategy and tactics to the capabilities of the players. We will try to defend hard and lead fast counterattacks and play very actively in attack ”. Botejara said.
As for goals, the coach said that before the start of the World Cup, they set an overall goal that they wanted to improve their level of play, as well as lay the foundation so they can perform at permanently higher revolutions. He said that he expects a very difficult match against Germany and Hungary, who are much stronger than them, so their players must be mentally strong.
In the first round, the Germans gave the Uruguayans no chance, and on Sunday night we will see what the sons of Botejara are going against us …
Cape Verde, meanwhile, has announced that it will not face the Germans. More details here!
