The members of the small delegation of the Paraguayan Bocce Federation left for Antalya, Turkey, to participate in the world championship of the discipline, in the Rafa Volo style (the most traditional form, brought to Paraguay at the beginning of the last century by Italian expats/immigrants).
Only two players make up the small group headed by the head of the delegation and official delegate for the International Federation congress, Alcides Acosta.
The bocce players Thaila Kreuz and Cleiton Ferreira will take part in the individual and mixed duo precision shooting competitions.
The Paraguayan expedition will make the long journey with a stopover in Sao Paulo, Brazil initially and then in Zurich, Switzerland, from there taking the final flight to Turkey where tomorrow the activities related to the world championship will begin and which will consist of the installation of the technical congress, the drawing of pairings and the initial practices and recognition of the court.
The competition itself is scheduled to start on Wednesday, extending the days until Sunday inclusive, with the return planned for next Monday.
