Plenty at stake in the postponed Valencian Community derby

The Port de Sagunt Pavilion hosts this Wednesday from 20:00 the postponed match corresponding to the 20th round of the Silver Honour Division, initially scheduled for February and suspended due to the red alert issued by AEMET because of strong winds. The match will see Fertiberia Puerto Sagunto face Fundación Agustinos Alicante.

Before the Easter break, the red-and-whites faced a week of two fixtures in which they were eliminated in the second round of the Copa de S. M. el Rey 2026 by REBI Cuenca (30-35) and won away (20-22) against Club Balonmano Soria in the domestic competition. They currently sit second in the division with 38 points in total.

Their opponents will be Fundación Agustinos Alicante, who, like the Puerto side, currently occupy a place in the promotion phase for the Liga Nexus Energía ASOBAL, scheduled for May. The Alicante side are fourth in the table with 34 points. In their most recent fixture, they won away (27-28) at Attica 21 Hotels OAR Coruña after coming from behind in the second half.

In the first-leg match, played in October at the San Agustín School Pavilion, better known as La Catedral, the Alicante side comfortably earned both points with a 27-21 victory. Therefore, this Valencian Community derby will also decide the head-to-head goal difference between the teams in the event of a possible tie on points at the end of the regular season.

It will be a very special match, as it will take place on the day dedicated to one of the club’s sponsors, KIA Autopista Sur, who have prepared numerous surprises. The club shop will also reopen.

The club has decided to maintain the Valentine’s Day promotion corresponding to the match’s original date (14 February), consisting of a 2-for-1 offer for members and tickets. If you are a member, you can bring a companion with your pass; if you enter with a ticket, two people can attend with the purchase of one ticket.

Fans wishing to buy tickets for the match can do so in person or via the club’s website. The price will be 12 euros for purchases made before Wednesday: www.cbmpuertosagunto.com/entradas/.
