Mozambique hosts 2017 Roller Hockey World Cup

"Cumbinha" at this time will be a reality!

It's even 4 years for 2017 but CIRH already announced that Mozambique will have again the opportunity to organized the World biggest Roller Hockey competition. After the problems in 2011 to assure the best conditions to organize the championship (the organization moved to San Juan-Argentina), this time Mozambique can't fail and sure will be the second African nation to receive the best roller hockey countries of the World.
There isn't already to much information about this news, but still is one more big step for the development of our sport in this great and future continent.
Mozambique is a country with a great tradition in our sport that is still searching for a new opportunity of development of this discipline. After the 4th place in 2011 the World stayed stupefact, how this team could get such place, almost without any support and preparation.

 On the news advanced by Mozambican newspaper (O País) Mozambique needs 3 rinks to host the championship. One, will be the main arena, while the other two will receive the practices of each team.

Only in 2014 the contract between CIRH and Mozambican Federation will be signed.

Seems that CIRH is betting strong in Africa this decade, but nevertheless we can't forget that only organize competions is enough. If we really want to see more this sport played in Africa, a huge plan of promotion and massification must be prepared. Last year was created CIRH Comittee for Africa Continent but until now there were any signals of work done...

We hope with 2013 Angola World Championship the things can start soon to change in the Continent of Opportunities!!
