The Under 19 Womens World Cup to played July 21-31st in Puerto Montt will host also the lottery for the groups for the 16 national teams this March 18.

The scheduled kickoff for Copa Chile is April 26, but the machine has been set in motion. So many teams have already applied, the  deadline is March 18, more deadlines are to be expiring and the stages being burnt to come up with the different groups sorted by geography.



The initial proposal is NO FOREIGN PLAYERS for Copa Chile.

On CD UDECONCE, new hires are Gerardo Isla and Del Solar (from CD Valdivia), young and tall for a Club that is going for serious results this year.
The "All Star" roster is big names and UDEC (are playing the local ADESUP College League too) is Arteaga, Marechal, Vasquez, Osses, Figueroa, Villagran.

LICEO MIXTO dropped Lino Sáez, Galo Lara and Carlos Gallardo, citing to rejuvenate the team, then maintains Patrick Saez & senior Patricio Briones! Also staying Patrick Saez, Claudio Gallardo, plus big guys Mauricio Cisterna & long distancer Claudio Naranjo.
Tried to get international star Franco Morales, but then Morales declined to stay in Espanol de Talca.
SIX new players to be announced, 19 to 26 years old.

CD VALDIVIA after loosing young Del Solar & Isla, also renewed the roster, with Campioni del Domani (Under-19) players: guard Santana, Toro (defender) and MVP Labrin.

BOSTON COLLEGE dropped Arroyo and Erick Carrasco, kept Zapata and star Valencia.

OSORNO Basquetbol (not Toros) lost Julius Holt (BOSTON), but received local hero Erick Carrasco. Previous players remain: Hernandez, senior Pablo Coro, Cristian Perez.

ESPANOL TALCA did not renew Jose Fuentes, Benjamin Acuña. Former player Carrizo is returning. So far is not having a sponsor so there is a concern.

LIBSUR (Southern League) starts March 26, in 2 groups. The "North" has teams North to... the Araucania Region. I said SOUTH, did not?
