Alser Puerto Sagunto formally applies for registration in Asobal

 Following the offer of sporting rights after BM Torrevieja and BM Antequera withdrew, the red-and-white board has taken the step of registering the team in the 2012_2013 Asobal League

 Today, Thursday, Alser BM Puerto Sagunto took a giant step towards their goal of competing in the Asobal League for a third consecutive year. After assessing the budgetary possibilities and financial requirements for entering Spain's top men's handball league, the red-and-white board decided to accept the offer to compete extended by the Spanish Federation this past Tuesday.

This marks the beginning of a whole series of bureaucratic requirements and financial commitments that the red-and-whites must fulfil in record time. The other clubs have been able to make progress on these matters, so the Valencians must now speed up to reach the same level as the other members of the ASOBAL League.

In addition to these obligations towards the clubs' association, the red-and-white club is halfway through assembling a squad that was, logically, being built for Spain's second tier of handball. They must therefore compete once again with an even tighter budget than last season, while carefully selecting the remaining signings in order to fight for sporting survival for another year and build a team that improves on last season's performance.

The Alser Puerto Sagunto board wishes to thank its numerous supporters for their expressions of support and hopes that, in addition to the sponsors already committed, the announcement of the return to the ASOBAL League will finally encourage businesses in the city and in the Valencian Community generally to support this solid, serious elite sporting project, the only men's handball project in the Valencian Community surviving the severe impact of the economic crisis.
