The selection process has been open to any Spanish athlete and their sports resume and knowledge of foil sailing have been assessed. The final selection of the youth and women’s teams is scheduled to be announced at the end of January. In the medium and long term, the Sail Team BCN aspires to build a platform of talent that allows it to compete in all categories of the future Copa América.
