Germany
🇩🇪Jakob Domke
🇩🇪Lukas Kicherer
[Team presentation for Albufeira] We proudly present Germany 2 🇩🇪. Jakob and Lukas are skillful, young and ambitious. And they should be as the numbers 2 in the strong German winter ranking. Although both train in different clubs (Frankenthal and Darmstadt), they are a really balanced, powerful team that communicates well. One could call them rising stars, literally too, because their feet only touch the ground for 45% of game time. Good luck!

Italy
🇮🇹Federico Iacopucci
🇮🇹Luca Marcaccini
[Team presentation for Albufeira] We proudly present Italy 🇮🇹 and the italian stallions 🐴 Federico Iacopucci and Luca Marcaccini. They have spent the winter training indoor and won the italian qualification in April. These young players are very entertaining to watch and we know they are eager to improve Italy’s best placements - 4th place in Germany (2016), Austria (2018) and the close loss in the bronze final in Graz 2019. Good luck in Germany!

Norway
🇳🇴Alexander Mørland Karlsen
🇳🇴Kristoffer Førde Aarskog
[Team presentation for Albufeira] We proudly present Norway 🇳🇴! The attacking vikings from the north sends Alexander and Kristoffer to steal their way into the top eight teams in Europe. Despite the cold climate they are surprisingly agile in the sand and expect a shark attack, or two. Or should we say Viking attack? .
