FECPC Name IFCPF World Cup Squad

Spain's FECPC have named their 12-player squad for the upcoming 2024 IFCPF Club World Cup, starting in Barcelona on Wednesday.

Each member of the 2024 squad was also part of last year's Club World Cup contingent, with the absence of Raúl Carillo the only change.

Headlining FECPC's attacking impetus is Aketza Requena who scored 11 goals at the 2023 IFCPF Club World Cup, including five goals in a game against Japanese side Esperanza.

Iñaki Requena returns as FECPC's head coach, looking to lead the tournament's host team to success in Barcelona.

We are all very excited to compete once again in this fantastic tournament," Requena said.

"We hope to have a great championship against two great teams like FC Storebælt and SJK. 

"We will participate with a very young squad. Ten of our players are under 24 years old, but they have a great deal of experience in national and international competitions, and they are eager to show the level of Catalan CP football.

"We feel fortunate to be able to play in front of our friends and family and receive their unconditional support as always, but once the ball starts rolling, it's seven against seven, and we will have to do our best to win."

FECPC finished third in last year's six-team IFCPF Club World Cup, and will start its 2024 campaign against Denmark's FC Storebælt on July 4. All games will be streamed live on FECPC's YouTube channel.

Squad:
