Braysi Cabrera, the captain of the Artemisa team in the 2022 Women’s Soccer League, also wears those stripes in the Cuban futsal team that participates in the Yekaterinburg International University Sports Festival.
The talented young woman has already represented the country in an under-15 qualifying round, two Concacaf regional tournaments in the under-17 category, a UNCAF sub-20 and in a qualifying round for the senior national team.
She has always been distinguished by a very good performance, due to her skills with the ball, effectiveness in defense and her long-distance punch.
This Caimitense, from Ceiba del Agua, excelled in the Artemisa team that achieved third place in group A and finished fifth in the general list of the 2022 Women’s Soccer League. She was then called as a reinforcement for the Villa Clara eleven to the final of the tournament.
Now it faces a greater challenge: for the first time a team from the largest of the Antilles will compete in an international futsal event, against rivals from Latin America itself, Africa and Asia. In his group are Iran and Russia, as revealed by number 5.
Gregorio Morales, technical director of the group, explained to Jit that the selection was made up of players from the I Regional Women’s Futsal League 2023, organized by the Cuban Football Association, in coordination with the Ministry of Higher Education.
“We are going with the expectations of participating and looking for a good result,” he declared. We will outline the new strategies based on what is achieved, she added.
Aleksander Chernov, head of the Festival’s organizing committee, reported that Cuba, Venezuela, Brazil and China are attending with a large delegation, since 14 sports are planned and 193 sets of medals will be raffled.
Teams from the BRICS countries (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa), the Shanghai Cooperation Organization and the Commonwealth of Independent States participate.
Thirty-three Cuban athletes from the universities of Havana, Artemisa, Computer Sciences and Manuel Fajardo, will fight in futsal, diving, judo, wrestling and rhythmic gymnastics.
