Fertiberia face Barça tomorrow

Fertiberia Balonmano Puerto Sagunto will face Barça tomorrow, 6 October, at the Joan Gamper Sports City. The match is the postponed first-round fixture, which was delayed by the Spanish Royal Handball Federation at the start of the league, and will be played at 20:00.

The red-and-white coach, Vicent Nogués, believes that‘Barça’s match is a very difficult away fixture in which the important thing is not the score but how we feel. We have to make sure they do not catch us on the counter-attack, play our own game, and give the players who play less an important role and more minutes. Above all, we must try to ensure that nobody gets hurt and arrive in the best possible condition for the home match against Cuenca, which is very important to us’

As for the opposition, the red-and-white coach says that ‘ they are a top team, with two players for every position; any player can make the difference, and I think we have to try to stop them from feeling comfortable. They must not be allowed to play their game or feel at ease on the court, as that increases our chances of success’, Nogués said.

Meanwhile, the board is preparing the next home match, which will be held on 10 October at the Ovni against Balonmano Ciudad Encantada. The match will once again be played in front of a limited number of spectators, as regulations require. Specifically, the members who were unable to attend the postponed match against Villa de Aranda will be able to watch it live: members M1 to M350 and their linked members, and F-6, 9, 19, 36, 58, 66, 86 and 123, together with their linked members. The board asks supporters who can attend the match to arrive at the Ovni 30 minutes early, otherwise they will not see the beginning of the match. Strict COVID-19 checks will be carried out at the entrance. Members who have not yet collected their membership card must do so in advance at the club’s office.

It is worth remembering that the membership fee, which this season has been reduced by between 25% and 30% of its usual price, must be paid by members wishing to renew their commitment at the club’s office (24 Alfambra Street, Puerto de Sagunto).

Prices range from €300 to €15. Honorary members can renew their commitment for €300, family membership costs €140, standard membership €100, retired members €70, young and linked members €40, and children’s membership €15.
