The Spanish youth handball team, with the participation of Júlia Sabadell from Sesrovires, competed in the Escandibérico Tournament in Oslo from October 22nd to 24th. The Spanish squad faced Sweden, Norway, and Portugal, securing victory in all three games.
Sabadell, playing as right winger, featured in all three matches for 15 minutes each. The tournament aimed to introduce a new game model, allow new players to debut, and gain international experience.
The results were decisive: Spain defeated Sweden 29-20, Norway 18-25, and Portugal 27-29. Although the tournament does not have an official championship title, the players returned with a sense of victory.
The player described the matches as "difficult," highlighting the strength of the Norwegian players and the challenge posed by Portugal. Despite feeling "tired" from the games and travel, Sabadell called the experience "unforgettable."
The young athlete will rejoin training with her current team, Handbol Sant Joan Despí, having begun her sports career at CH Sant Esteve.
