Fertiberia Puerto Sagunto plan five pre-season matches

Fertiberia Puerto Sagunto have finalised their fixture schedule to reach the start of the Liga Asobal Bauhaus, scheduled for 5 September, in perfect condition.

Pachi Martí’s men will make their pre-season debut at El Sargal against BM Globalcaja Ciudad Encantada next Wednesday, 12 August, at 20:30.

The first opportunity to see Fertiberia at the Ovni will be on Friday 21 August against newly promoted Division de Honor Plata side BM Alarcos from Ciudad Real. The match will begin at 20:15.

The next match, also against an Asobal team, will be the first of the Valencian Community derbies, with the Valencians visiting Fernando Latorre’s Alicante side BM Benidorm on Saturday 22 August at the L’Illa Pavilion, at a time to be confirmed. Four days later in Mora de Rubielos, BM Aragón will be the red-and-whites’ opponents, from 20:00 in the Teruel town halfway between the two teams.

The demanding finale will be the first official tournament of the season, the Copa Comunitat Valenciana, where the men’s final between BM Benidorm and Fertiberia Puerto Sagunto will take place from 19:00 on Saturday 29 August. Earlier, at 17:00, the women of Canyamelar Valencia and Elche will play the women’s final of the same competition.

In addition to these five matches, the Fertiberia squad will uphold tradition and take part in the Volta a Peu del Port de Sagunt, an event organised by Club Deportivo Camp de Morvedre as part of the patron-saint festivities of Puerto de Sagunto. The race will be held on Saturday 8 August at 19:30, and its 7.250 km will provide physical training for the red-and-whites.

In a statement to the club, Pachi Martí said regarding the schedule “We believe that five matches in one month are appropriate for the workload we want. We may play a match against Agustinos Alicante at the Ovni during the week of 31 August, but four matches against Asobal teams and an enthusiastic BM Alarcos from the second division provide a good test to see how our players respond during the first part of the season”
