The first-ever Youth BCL is getting closer, with the tournament to be held from April 11 to April 15, and Bnei Ofek Dist Herzliya’s junior will have an opportunity to prove its potential against some of the best youth teams in the continent.
The coach of the Israeli team’s youngsters, Idan Lankry, claims his team’s excitement is growing as the tournament approaches.
“Our players were very to hear about the tournament. Everyone is ready for the unique experience, and I’m sure there will be even more excitement towards the beginning of the tournament,” Lankry said.
