JO: Softball team that carries Mexico in its blood

They made history by qualifying for the Olympics for the first time and now they prepare to arrive at the summer joust showing off the word Mexico on their uniforms… although several of them were born outside of Mexican lands.

On September 2, 2019, the Mexican Softball Team qualified for the Olympic Games for the first time in history, and one of the characteristics of this squad is that most of the players on this team are born in the United States.

Either because your parents or grandparents were born in Mexico, 17 of the 19 players born in the USA were able to integrate the national team’s roster, achieving that historic ticket, a situation that will be presented in the team that will be in Tokyo.
