Elon Stars Head to Spain for National Team Camp

Two Elon basketball stars, Iker Garmendia and Raúl Villar, are heading to Spain for a national team training camp as potential members of Spain’s U20 squad. Both players, hailing from Barcelona, have prior international experience — Villar even captained the U18 team to a championship — and are now competing for a spot on the final 12-player roster heading to the FIBA U20 EuroBasket in Slovenia. Garmendia, a 6’9” big man, and Villar, a 6’3” guard, bring valuable international experience back to Elon after representing Spain at U16 and U18 levels, with silver medals in 2022 and 2024. This camp marks a pivotal step in their journey toward representing Spain on the global stage — and a testament to Elon’s growing talent and international footprint in college basketball.
