During the buildup to the 2025 IFAF Americans Flag Football Championships, IFAF has posed three questions to the head coaches of the men’s and women’s teams about to compete for continental glory.

Argentina men’s head coach Cesar Liatti has been in charge of the national team since 2013 and led his nation at the last Americas tournament in 2023 and in Finland at the 2024 IFAF Flag Football World Championships. He has been the head coach of Corsarios of the Argentine national league since 2022.

What are the goals for your team in this tournament? Our goal is to qualify for the 2026 World Cup, so repeating the fifth place of 2023 would be a good result, if we can improve it, even better.

What will be the strengths of your team, and which players should we watch for? This year, several talented players were added to the roster, especially on defense. I think our strength this year will be our defensive solidity so we can build calmly on offense.

What do you think of the group you have been drawn into? Mexico and Panama are two of the best teams in the world. The idea is to close the gap with us with each tournament, but our matchup is with the other three teams. We know Chile very well, and we know very little about Jamaica and El Salvador, but we should be able to beat all three.
