The international break will feature double representation in red and white

Fertiberia Puerto Sagunto will be represented twice in the Real Federación Española de Balonmano's youth national teams during the international break, thanks to the call-ups of players Carlos Martín de Bolaños and Erik Martín Montolio.

For Carlos Martín de Bolaños, receiving this type of call-up will come as no surprise, as throughout his career he has taken part in development sessions for the 2006–2007 and 2007–2008 generations at the High-Performance Centres in Sierra Nevada and Granada. He was also part of the Hispanos Promesas, with whom he became European Open champion in Gothenburg in July 2023, and continued his development with the Hispanos Juveniles, for whom he played two friendly matches against Poland in May 2025.

The club's first-team player has made an excellent start to his debut in the NEXUS ENERGÍA ASOBAL League, where he is currently the red-and-white side's third-highest scorer, with a total of twenty-three goals in the eight matches he has played. This form has earned him the opportunity to make his debut in the list of eighteen players called up to the Hispanos Junior, coached by Nacho Moyano.

On their return to action this season, the Hispanos Junior will have a double friendly commitment against Hungary at the El Plantío Municipal Sports Centre in Burgos. The first will take place on Thursday 5 November, starting at 18:00, and the second on Saturday 7 at 20:30. In between the two matches, they will face Viveros Herol BM Nava at the Guerreros Naveros Municipal Pavilion on Friday 6, starting at 20:30.

“My aim is to keep learning, having fun and enjoying every moment, doing things well and maintaining the percentages I have been achieving in the regular league. The national-team shirt carries weight and makes you feel nervous, but once the opening whistle sounds, those nerves disappear,” Carlos Martín de Bolaños told the club's microphones.

Erik Martín Montolio will also be present. He is a Balonmano Mora academy player who joined the club's school this season, where he plays matches in both the cadet and youth categories. For the player from Teruel, this will also be his first call-up to the Hispanos Junior. He had previously been called up on as many as four occasions to take part in development sessions.

Under the guidance of Carlos Colomer, he will take part in the 4 Nations Tournament, which will be held in Portugal. There, he will face Italy on 5 November at 15:00 at the Pinhel Multi-Purpose Pavilion; Austria on the 6th, starting at 15:30, at the Almeida Municipal Pavilion; and will finish his participation against the hosts on the 7th, starting at 17:30, at the Figueira Castelo Rodrigo Municipal Pavilion.

“This call-up means a lot to me, as it is exciting to be able to continue progressing and join the Hispanos setup. It came as a bit of a surprise, to be honest. I am really looking forward to playing against other European countries. I want to do my very best so that I do not miss out on future call-ups,” said Erik Martín Montolio.

It is worth remembering that, in addition, last weekend he played a friendly match with the Valencian Community's cadet team against the Catalan side at the Pavelló Municipal d'Amposta. The match was the first preparatory fixture for the Spanish Autonomous Communities Championship (CESA), which will be held next January.
