The II Copa América de Handball Master 2023 takes place from November 1st to 5th in Salvador, bringing together the main teams from countries in the Americas: Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Paraguay, Dominican Republic, Argentina and Puerto Rico. The event takes place in partnership with Salvador City Hall, through the Secretariat for Social Promotion, Combating Poverty, Sports and Leisure (Semper).
Athletes from various generations, from 28 teams and seven countries, will compete in the Master category, divided between female 30+/37+/44+/50+/55+ and male 35+/42+/49+/55+/ 60+.
“Salvador, every weekend, hosts large-scale sporting events. We had, in an unprecedented way, the first edition of Virada Esportiva Salvador with the participation of almost 5 thousand athletes from the most diverse sports. Last week, we hosted the National League of Footvolley with traditional teams from all over the country and, in this, we will have this great event that will serve as a reference for the Handball Master with teams from all over the world. All of this encourages us to invest more and more in public policies for the sport”, he highlighted the secretary of Semper, Júnior Magalhães.
