For several days, San Juan became the epicenter of international women's rink hockey by hosting the Rink Hockey Women Clubs World Championship. The legendary Aldo Cantoni Stadium was dressed in grandeur to welcome the best women's hockey teams in a tournament that not only showcased global talent but also highlighted the strong presence of the sport in San Juan.
Spain’s CP Vila Sana, with a strong representation from San Juan, was crowned champion after defeating Esneca Fraga in a thrilling final with a score of 5–3. The Catalan team celebrated the title thanks to goals from Luciana Agudo, Daiana Silva, Gimena Gómez, and a brace by Victoria Porta. Beyond the high level of play, the final was marked by an emotional moment: the retirement announcement of Adriana Gutiérrez, a historic player from San Juan who represented the runner-up team. Cheered on by her people, Gutiérrez bid farewell to professional play, leaving behind a legacy of five world titles and an inspiring example for future generations.
Deportivo Aberastain secured third place by defeating Concepción Patín Club 3–1 in a vibrant all-San Juan match that thrilled the crowd at the Cantoni. Valentina Verón, with two goals, and Mariana Pelaytay scored the winning goals for the orange team, while Catalina Quintero netted one for Concepción.
