Fertiberia BM Puerto Sagunto welcome Qatar's national team

Fertiberia BM Puerto Sagunto face Qatar's senior national team tomorrow at the Ovni, a side already intensively preparing for the 2015 World Championship, which they will host, from 20:15. Patxi Martí's team head into the friendly after losing away to BM Aragón (31-25) in a match that only broke open at the end. For the red-and-whites, this game serves as preparation for the upcoming matches after the league break, as their next home opponents will be Cuatro Rayas Valladolid and the Valencians do not want to lose their competitive rhythm and aim to turn the Ovni into a fortress. Qatar's senior team, managed by Spaniard Valero Rivera, have a very compact squad and, interestingly, another Spaniard among their ranks: Nantes pivot Borja Vidal. The Qataris already know what it is like to win in Spain, having beaten BM Aragón in the “CAI-Ciudad de Zaragoza” Trophy (25-29). In short, the red-and-whites will seek to put on a good show for their supporters before the league break against a national team that has begun a policy of naturalising foreign players to strengthen a side that wants to perform well at its World Championship.
