This Wednesday, August 19th, marks a historic moment for Cuba as they make their debut in the Little League World Series. The Cuban team, from the city of Matanzas, will be facing off against the Japanese team from Tokyo Kitasuna Little League. This will be the first time that a Cuban team has ever competed in the Little League World Series, and it is sure to be an exciting match.
The Cuban team has had a long road to get to this point. After winning the Latin American Regional tournament in Panama, they had to wait for the approval of the Cuban government before they could travel to the United States for the Little League World Series. After months of waiting, their permission was finally granted and they are now ready to take on the world.
The Cuban team is made up of 12 players between the ages of 11 and 13. They have been training hard for this tournament and are determined to make their country proud. They are led by their coach, Jorge Luis Hernandez, who has been coaching them since they were 8 years old. He has instilled in them a passion for the game and a desire to win.
The match against Japan is sure to be an exciting one. Japan has won the Little League World Series four times in the past, so they are no strangers to success. However, Cuba is determined to make their mark on the tournament and prove that they are a force to be reckoned with.
No matter what the outcome of Wednesday’s game, it will be a historic moment for Cuba and a moment that will be remembered for years to come. The Cuban team is ready to take on the world and show everyone what they are made of. It promises to be an exciting match and one that all baseball fans should tune in to watch.
