And he thanked the Andalusian Tennis Federation and Leopoldo Marta for allowing the province of Huelva to host “a competition that will allow us to enjoy a booming sport and continue promoting it so that we have new champions in Huelva.”
For his part, Esteban Rodríguez has shown “the excitement and joy that it means for the federation to arrive at a place where all the administrations extend their hand to us and which is also the land of the number one table tennis player in Huelva, the home of Álvaro Robles, flagship of this sport that started at the La Hispanida Clubd”.
In relation to the competition, he has reported that it will bring together clubs from all over Andalusia in the male and female categories of Pre-Benjamín (Promises), Benjamín, Alevín, Infantil, Juvenil, Absolute, veterans +40, +50, +60 and +65, where the provinces of Jaén and Granada will be the ones with the greatest representation.
