Team Achievements
Our players, Brian Afanador, Daniel González and Adriana Díaz, sponsored by Butterfly, showed an exceptional performance and carried the name of Puerto Rico with pride on the most prestigious stage in world sport.

With her agility, precision and competitive spirit, Adriana not only captured the attention of fans, but also left an indelible mark on the tournament. Her matches were thrilling and full of unforgettable moments, reaffirming her position as one of the best players in the world.
