The Handball World Champions' Cup was displayed at the Puerto Sagunto Civic Centre as the first stop on a tour that will visit several towns in the Valencian Community this week.

The event organised by Fertiberia BM Puerto Sagunto in collaboration with the Sagunto Town Council's Department of Sport featured hundreds of children as its main protagonists, and they did not miss the opportunity to have their photographs taken with this historic trophy won by the “Hispanos” this past January.

Throughout the afternoon, supporters and curious onlookers in general filed through the civic centre's foyer to see the Champions' Cup up close and have their photographs taken with it.

The red-and-white club also organised several mini-handball matches in the street as a parallel activity, where the boys and girls from the city's schools enjoyed their favourite sport.

The event was brought to a close by Sagunto's Mayor, Alfredo Castellf3, accompanied by councillors Sergio Muniesa and Paco Villar, together with Fertiberia Puerto Sagunto president Juanjo Bataller. In his speech, Alfredo Castellf3 took the opportunity to congratulate the Valencian club on its excellent season, once again recalling the greatness of a modest club and the example it represents for the wider Sagunto community: fighting and striving for its survival and development in such difficult times as these.

In short, another event demonstrating the strength of handball in the city of Sagunto and Puerto de Sagunto, as shown by the large number of visitors who came to see the symbol of Spanish handball's triumph at the World Championship.
