Unicaja Mijas captain Elena Moreno and small forward María Roters will represent the Spanish U23 and senior 3x3 national teams from May 19 through 22.

Unicaja travels to Castile and León to face Recoletas Salud San Pablo Burgos this Thursday (7:00 PM, broadcasted by DAZN, Vamos de Movistar -dial 8- and Unicaja Baloncesto Radio, live from Le Grand Café Centro). The Málaga-based team is aiming for a victory to stay in the fight for a playoff spot against a rival battling to avoid relegation. They will be playing at the Coliseum Burgos, a place that has historically been a difficult venue for the team.
The team led by Manolo Bazán returns from Punta Umbría after claiming the top spot on the podium. Unicaja won all of its matches in the tournament to clinch the title and secure a spot in the Spanish Championship, which will be held in late May and early June in Huelva.
The team coached by Javi Pérez de los Reyes remained undefeated at home, defeating MCR Lima-Horta Barcelona 76-46 to secure their spot in the LF Challenge Final Four, which will be held in Vigo next week. With this victory, the Malaga-based team has qualified for the final stage of the competition—where teams compete for promotion to the Liga Femenina Endesa—for the second consecutive year.
