El Ceibo to debut in Liga Argentina basketball this Saturday

El Ceibo is set to make its debut in the Liga Argentina, the second tier of Argentine basketball, this Saturday against Comunicaciones in Mercedes, Corrientes. The club secured its place in the league after Colón de Santa Fe decided not to participate, vacating its spot.

Led by coach Eduardo Blengini, the team is entering this new stage following a period of growth that includes provincial titles and a recent appearance in the Torneo Federal final. The roster combines returning players like Santiago Andrione, Pablo Grosso, Matteo Blengini, and Gabriel Rojas with new additions including Esteban Cáffaro, Julián Eydallín, Ulises Amaya, Tobías Cravero, and Carlos Hurtado.

The debut marks the start of a demanding away tour. Following the match in Mercedes, El Ceibo will travel to Posadas to face Mitre on Monday, October 19, and then to Resistencia to play Villa San Martín on Wednesday, October 21. The team's first home game at the “Antonio Cena” stadium is scheduled for Wednesday, October 28, against Riachuelo de La Rioja.
