While there were no doubts, they had to be confirmed. Eduardo Bellingini will lead the Asociación El Ceibo in the Federal Basketball Tournament, which begins on January 28th. He’s already working on putting together the team.

After a week of historic high, the “foam didn’t go down” at Calle A. Del Valle y Cabrera. Adrenaline is not giving up and expectations for what is to come are mixed. El Ceibo belongs to Federal Tournament and that’s why it’s running nonstop.

Times are short, in a month the competition begins and assembling the campus is the main objective of the managers. That is why the first step was to “connect” the coach’s continuity.

Eduardo “Mara” Blingini will continue to lead the team. The San Francisco native will finally get his long-awaited first experience in Class Three of the National Basketball Association, having been cut short after his promotion with Freyre’s 9 de Julio Olímpico.

The Fed will start on January 28, 2022 and its normal phase will last about 120 days, so it is expected to end around May 28. The post-season start is expected in the early days of June and the competition culminates at the end of July.

Regarding the configuration of templates, there is some news. As previously reported, it will consist of five older players, two under-23 players, three under-21 players, and two under-19 players. In any case, the year 2022 will be counted to calculate these ages. That is, older players born in 1998 or earlier will be considered. U23 tokens will be those born in 1999 and 2000, U21 tokens will be those born 2001 and 2002, while those born in 2003 and later will be considered under 19. What’s new in this edition is that up to four Under-23s and six Under-21s can be registered on the roster in good faith as long as they have been at the club for a year or more.
