EON Bake Alicante’s side William Fisher, an Argentinian coach Guillermo Milano, was called to participate in the preparations of the Albiceleste team for the Pan American Tournament, which will take place in Argentina next January.
A Silver Honor Division player will travel to Poland for two friendly matches against the local side from December 26 to January 7. The team will then move on to Switzerland to join the Yellow Cup.
The club inquired about Argentina’s plans in preparation for the Pan American Tournament in January.
Information was shared publicly on social media, highlighting EÓN Handball Alicante and the Panamerican Tournament with a team update and team photographs.

To his surprise, “Wolf” Fischer joined the Gladiators. Representing Chile at the Pan American Games in Santiago, they secured the gold after defeating Brazil in the final. Alicante’s number 27 expressed pride in rejoining the squad, a statement tied to his leadership since 2019 and his participation in the last two world championships.
“Being among the 16 called up is beyond words and brings a rush of euphoria, especially sharing it with lifelong friends. Coming here feels like a dream realized,” the player noted before entering the Chilean tournament, a venue used in the build-up to Paris 2024 Games.

With the league paused for international duties, Fernando Latorre is expected to rely on the Argentinian full-back in the upcoming matches. The Silver Honor Division will pause after the December 10 game. The Cisne Colegio Los Sauces club is set to restart on January 17 with the Alicante derby at the San Agustín School Pavilion, following the conclusion of the Pan American Tournament.
