Argentina's Yael Castiglione ends her career

Lugo, 19 Mar Argentinian player Yael Castiglione announced her retirement from the courts, although she will continue to be linked to volleyball through a representative agency.

The Argentine placer ended her career with a match against Cajasol Dos Hermanas, which belonged to the last day of the Iberdrola League. “I have been accumulating great pride since the Queen's Cup both individually and collectively. Of course there is the bitter taste of not having qualified for the playoffs, I think we had everything to be able to do it, but it is part of the learning for the team. So happy in general,” he said. Castiglione went through more than a dozen teams, also the national team, with which he played the Rio 2016 Olympic Games. “At the selection level, the qualification for the Games was the highest in every way, the pinnacle of my career,” he acknowledged. A race that began in the ranks of Boca Juniors, a club he went through in two stages, and that ran through the Brazilian Super League or the Polish League. Castiglione's career has titles at the club level such as the Austrian League and Cup, the Romanian Cup or the runner-up in the MEVZA (Central European League). With Argentina she was twice runner-up in the South American Championship and three times bronze medal in the Pan American Cup. CHIEF 1010152 caf/asc
