The red-and-black preseason is in full swing, and the Pride of the Nation will go to Peru, once again, to compete in a preparatory tournament for the 2017/18 season. The II International Tournament of Lima 17 will feature the presence of Bahía Basket (Argentina), Hebraica Macabi (Uruguay), Regatas Lima (Peru), as well as Mais Querido, and coach José Neto will have the entire team available for the first time. 

The matches will take place on September 15th, 16th, and 17th at the Manuel Bonilla Coliseum in Lima, Peru. The tournament will serve as an opportunity to exchange experiences and will be the final stretch of preparation for the South American League and the NBB 10. 

FlaBasquete will be participating in the quadrangular tournament on Peruvian soil for the second time. Last season, coach José Neto's team finished the tour with two wins and one loss, and this time, they're looking to return to Brazil with an even better performance to continue their remaining challenges.

In addition to participating in the tournament, coach José Neto, assistant Rodrigo Carlos and physical trainer Diego Falcão will participate in the II International Basketball Clinic, in Lima, to exchange knowledge with various professionals in the sport. 

Check out FlaBasquete's roster for the tournament below:

Shipowners: David Cubillan and Arthur Pecos

Shooting guards: Ronald Ramon and Humberto

Wings: Marquinhos, Marcelinho and Danilo

Power forwards: Olivinha, MJ Rhett and Ruan

Pivots: JP Batista and João Vitor
