Zonzamas Plus Car Lanzarote will have a prominent presence at the 2025 Women's Handball World Championship, which will be held from November 26 to December 14 in Germany and the Netherlands. Three players from the Lanzarote team—Paula Fernández, Gleinys Reyes, and Valentina Menucci—have been called up by their respective national teams, taking the club's name to the most important event on the international calendar.
Paraguayan center back Paula Fernández, one of Zonzamas's signings this season from Mecalia Atlético Guardés, will repeat her World Cup experience with her national team. A player of enormous character and leadership ability, Fernández has brought balance and dynamism to the Canary team's game, establishing herself as one of the references in the offensive direction. Her call-up reaffirms the international weight of an athlete accustomed to competing at the highest level.
For her part, Cuban Gleinys Reyes will once again wear her country's jersey in a major tournament. The left-handed winger, a specialist in seven-meter throws and one of the most veteran players in the locker room, is facing her fifth season at Zonzamas. Her experience, poise, and effectiveness will be key for a Cuban team that seeks to establish itself among the emerging powers of world women's handball.
The third representative will be the Argentinian goalkeeper Valentina Menucci, who will play her first World Cup. In her third season with the club, Menucci has shown remarkable progress, becoming one of the breakthrough goalkeepers in the Liga Guerreras Iberdrola. Her confidence, reflexes, and progression have earned her the trust of the coaching staff of "La Garra," who have included her in the final list for the championship.
From Zonzamas Plus Car Lanzarote, the news has been received with enormous satisfaction. In an official statement, the club expressed its pride in the presence of three of its players at the World Cup event:
"We feel very proud to be so well represented in the World Cup with three players of such a high level. We wish them the best of luck, that they enjoy the experience, learn, and return with their motivation at its peak."
The triple call-up is a source of pride and a new milestone for an entity that continues to consolidate its sports project in the elite of Spanish handball. Zonzamas Plus Car Lanzarote will not only compete in the highest category, but will also see three of its leading players defend the colors of their countries on the world's most prestigious stage.
