[EN] Aday Mara is already in Zaragoza to make his official debut with Spain

Aday Mara and the entire expedition of the Spanish national team is already in Zaragoza to prepare the fourth FIBA window in order to qualify for the 2027 World Cup. For the Aragonese center it is a very special call-up because he will make his official debut with the senior team of Spain at home and in front of his people. 

The match in which he will most likely make his debut is this Friday against Portugal at the Príncipe Felipe at 21:00. In addition, the pavilion of the Aragonese capital will also receive another Zaragoza player such as Jaime Pradilla and an old acquaintance of Casademont Zaragoza as the one who until last season was the captain of the team, Santi Yusta.

The women’s team arrived an hour in advance of the men’s expedition and are also in Zaragoza to close their preparation as a prelude to the World Cup in Germany.
