Santi Denia, coach of the Spanish Olympic team, spoke about the inclusion of Pau Cubarsi in the squad for the Olympics after he was excluded by Luis de la Fuente from the Euro 2024 squad. Denia stated: “The decision to exclude Cubarsi from Euro 2024 was de la Fuente’s. He selected 29 players and then decided to drop Cubarsi. However, now we have a new opportunity in the Olympics, and Cubarsi was extremely happy and ready to earn his place in the Olympics. Even if you are young, the chance to participate in the Olympics may not come again, which makes him very proud.”

Denia highlighted the significance of Cubarsi’s opportunity in the Olympics, emphasizing that the player greatly values this chance and considers it a rare experience, regardless of age.
