United Left wants to continue supporting the city's flagship club, Fertiberia BM Puerto Sagunto

The board of Fertiberia Balonmano Puerto Sagunto, headed by president Juanjo Bataller, met this afternoon with the leader of the city's new United Left candidacy, Guillermo Sampedro, who showed his support for the red-and-white club, in another meeting the club has held with a political candidacy. The board hopes to be able to meet with the remaining candidacies, which will stand in the upcoming local elections on 26 May.

During the meeting, president Juanjo Bateller outlined the club's current situation as it fights to return to Asobal, and as of today it has a strong chance of hosting the promotion phase at the Ovni and returning to the top tier of Spanish handball, from which it was relegated last season.

For his part, United Left candidate and current councillor of Sagunto Town Council Guillermo Sampedro stated that “we are directly committed to supporting the club. We will guarantee the grant and renew Fertiberia's sponsorship continuously once again”.

“We understand that handball is the city's flagship team and we will maintain the grant and continue our firm support, also by seeking new sponsors. We can think of various companies which, as activities councillor, I know are active. New companies can be sounded out so that they invest in the city's sport”, Sampedro added.

Regarding the new sports hall, the president outlined the problems the club is experiencing due to the lack of space at the Ovni, now that it is going to host the promotion phase to ASOBAL. Given the need to complete the new sports hall, Guillermo Sampedro expressed “we will work to ensure that the sports hall is completed with the facilities the club needs for it to be suitable for playing in the top tier of Spanish handball”.
