‘Compromís’ shows its intention to continue supporting Fertiberia BM Puerto Sagunto, as it has for the past four years

The board of Fertiberia Balonmano Puerto Sagunto, led by president Juanjo Bataller, met this afternoon with five representatives of the city’s new Compromís candidacy, specifically the lead candidate and current mayor, Quico Fernández, and his colleague, José Manuel Tarazona. Fernández expressed his support for the red-and-white club, in the second meeting the club has held with a political candidacy. The board hopes to meet with the other candidates standing in the forthcoming local elections on 26 May.

During the meeting, president Juanjo Bateller outlined the club’s current situation: it is fighting to return to ASOBAL and currently has a strong chance of hosting the promotion phase at the Ovni in order to return to the top tier of Spanish handball, from which it was relegated last season.

For his part, the Compromís candidate and current mayor of Sagunto, Quico Fernández, stated that “we are directly committed to supporting the club. We are a party with a long history behind us; we have always supported Fertiberia BM Puerto Sagunto at every level. We have done so over the past four years and will continue to do so”.

“We secured Fertiberia as a sponsor for more than one season, which gave the club stability; we want to maintain that and seek support from other companies. You know me; you know the management and negotiating skills I bring, and my commitment to finding companies. We are at a time of growth, and many companies that have arrived are in the process of setting up. Once they are established, we will approach them and encourage them to join us. In addition to maintaining the financial support we provide through the Town Hall, we are committed to continuing to manage matters and maintain contact with companies,” the current mayor added.

Regarding the new pavilion, Quico Fernández said “it is the victim of a procurement problem. The council’s technicians award contracts to the companies that bid, but the companies then withdraw because the figures do not add up. We have increased the budget to €700,000, but the situation remains the same. We will not stop looking for solutions”.
