This Monday, July 19, the basketball match between the Euskadi and Slovakia sub19 teams will be played in Zarautz. The Central European team will soon play the European Championship and, to continue their preparation, they will play two games against the Basque team, tomorrow Sunday in Beasain and the following Monday in Zarautz.
This match will take place at Lizardi Aretoa, at 7:30 p.m. and admission will be free until full capacity is reached. The presentation ceremony for this match, which was attended by the sports councilor Inaxio Illarramendi, the president of ZKE Esteban Collantes and the members of the Euskadi team Jon Gonzalez and Beñat Etxeberria, took place at the Aritzbatalde sports center last Thursday .
“It is a great pleasure for us to host this international match in Zarautz,” said the Councilor for Sports Inaxio Illarramendi during the presentation. “This match is a reflection of the commitment we have to sport. Zarautz has a great relationship with basketball, from training in children’s categories to senior clubs. On the other hand, the Basque Basketball Federation organizes several of its activities every year in Zarautz, such as the 3×3 or the campuses for young people”.
The match between Euskadi and Slovakia is played on Monday at 7:30 p.m. and is free until the capacity of 400 people is filled
Thus, the new Lizardi Aretoa will host this international match on Monday. Opened in 2021, this sports facility located next to the Aritzbatalde sports center, will have a capacity of close to 400 people for the match between the Euskadi team and the Slovak national team.
Federation activity
This is not the only activity carried out by the Basque Basketball Federation in our town this summer. Thus, from last Wednesday until tomorrow Sunday, a campus of the Euskadi Basketball Team for girls born in 2012 is being held at the Aritzbatalde Sports Center. They train at 10 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. and will be there until tomorrow, Sunday morning.
No rest in Zast
For its part, the Zarautz KE basketball section continues to work for next season. The first men’s team will have to face the EBA League after winning promotion. Quite a challenge for our basketball that has once again shown that its place is to play in this league. Underneath, a great job is being done with a second men’s team that was also on the verge of achieving promotion to the First Division (where the first team was active this past season) and that comes out stronger for 23-24.
In the women’s category, the girls also did a great job in the Second Division, the league they reached last season and in which they moved with ease and fulfilled their objective of maintaining that category with hardly any difficulties, which should help them to face with greater certainty what will arrive to them from autumn.
Underneath, the quarry work is also paying off. That must be the way to provide the top teams with players, and more so now that they are in national categories.
But before that, the traditional 3X3 Street Basket Tournament will be held on the boardwalk, next to La Dama, from August 25 to 27, a basketball festival that brings together countless teams every year and is an unmissable event for everyone. fans and players who love this sport.
