El Bisbal Bàsquet faces an unexpected disruption to its upcoming preparation schedule as structural renovations at the Pavelló Vell run behind schedule, preventing the squad from accessing its home court by the start of September.
Pavelló Vell Construction Delays Push Back Bisbal Bàsquet Training Schedule
The facility upgrade project, which began over the summer months, hit logistical hurdles that pushed completion past the initial September target. Club leadership originally scheduled the first official training session of the 2026-2027 campaign for September 1 at the municipal venue. However, ongoing structural work means the arena will remain closed while contractors finish necessary safety upgrades.
The renovation scope requires intricate labor to reinforce the facility’s roof structure using heavy-duty iron beams. Additionally, workers are applying specialized fireproof treatments to both the roof assembly and the storage areas to meet modern building codes. These technical demands outpaced initial timelines, leaving the club scrambling for temporary training spaces in the local area.
Impact on Head Coach Èric Surís and Preseason Planning
The club administration responded swiftly to the logistical shortfall, opening channels to locate nearby courts that can accommodate professional-grade basketball workouts. Minimizing downtime remains the primary objective for management as the squad prepares for the physical demands of the upcoming league fixtures.
