Tour of the Spanish team through the Balearic Islands

The Spanish men’s basketball team could perform a Balearic tour within your preparation of the Eurobasket 2022, which will be played from September 1 to 18 next year in the Czech Republic, Germany, Georgia and Italy. This was announced this Sunday by the president of the Balearic Basketball Federation, Juanjo Talens, in the course of the Ordinary General Assembly with which the territory closes the 2020/21 financial year and which has been held in one of the halls of the Hipotel Playa hotel Palm.

The territorial has “advanced”, in the words of Talens, a two-game program in Palma and Maó in 2022 within the tour prior to the Eurobasket. The negotiations with the Spanish Basketball Federation are in an advanced stage and now it will be necessary to polish them with the island institutions to be able to enjoy a double appointment with the current world champion.

One of the objectives of this tour, moreover, is to be able to pay tribute to the important Balearic quota immersed in Sergio Scariolo’s team, with the Mallorcan Rudy fernandez and the Menorcan Sergio Llull as two of its exponents, whom it has joined in the last five years Alex Abrines.

For Llull, it would also be the opportunity to play in his homeland, Menorca, with the Spanish team, which already visited Mallorca more than a decade ago with Rudy Fernández at the helm, although it could be the baptism of Abrines with the national team on the island.

The Sports Palace of His Moix -without ruling out the Balearic Islands Velodrome- and the Menorca Pavilion would be the scenarios of both preparation games. It should be remembered that in the preparation of the 2018 Women’s World Cup, the team headed by Alba Torrens and with Nogaye Lo in their ranks also, already carried out a stage and played in Mallorca.

During the Assembly, in addition, the 2020 accounts were approved and the 2021 budget of the Basketball Federation of the Balearic Islands, which will amount to 885.000 euros. The validation of rules and competition rules, the maintenance of prices and rates, the creation of the figure of the Sole Judge of Competition, insurance and disciplinary regulations or the presentation of a complete COVID report were the main points of a meeting in which the establishment of the project of Juanjo Talens and his board was reflected, ratified with the increase in licenses and presence in national competitions.
