2011-11-12Club president Juanjo Bataller received the keys to the official Asobal vehicle in the presence of Antonio Vicente, the company’s manager and owner, accompanied by deputy mayor Sergio Muniesa, at the Škoda Puerto Sagunto dealership in the Ingruinsa Industrial Estate. Antonio Vicente and Carlos Cepedal, a sales representative at the Škoda dealership who also happens to play for Alser’s Segunda Nacional team, were responsible for handing over the keys.
Iago Muiña, Rubén Ruiz, Bojan Stefanovic, Nacho Moya, Alfredo Sorrentino, Chelu Cid, team delegate Javi Teruel and coach Goran Dzokic were the squad members who attended the event.
As Antonio Vicente explained, “Škoda provides every Asobal team with a free car in exchange for advertising and to support the team”; “unlike other brands that focus more on football, we have decided to invest in handball.” Antonio Vicente also describes himself as a handball fan, although he says he does not have time to attend matches.
For his part, Alser BM Puerto Sagunto president Juanjo Bataller was very pleased and said: “We will use it for sporting purposes; if a player cannot travel by bus because of work commitments, the car will be made available to him, and we will also use it to attend Asobal events.” He added that he considers it a great initiative and hopes “others will follow suit”.
