Fidel has always been a sports enthusiast since his student years at the Colegio de Belén and later at the university in Havana, where he practiced baseball, football and basketball. Precisely during the 1943-1944 school year he was a member of the basketball team that practiced at the College of Belén.
His photographs as a young man, with a ball on his hands, semi-flexed legs, looking forward, or others with a cap and uniform of his Barbudos team next to Camilo Cienfuegos, are observed in black and white as if time had stopped forever . The books, the web, the magazines of the time show us an active, enthusiastic Fidel, against whom nobody wanted to go, "not even in baseball."
The images tell a story linked to sports, which defended and considered a right of the people. He was also seen wearing the National Football Team shirt in the match between Nicaragua and Aruba, during the inauguration of the IX Central American and Caribbean Football Championship, held in 1960.
Fidel after an underwater dive, Fidel receiving the torch from Olympic runners or as part of a baseball team of Canadian and North American students and journalists. This is how this great man from the History of Cuba can be seen, who was also a legend in the history of sports.
