Diari de Girona Brings Back Weekend Sports Supplements

Diari de Girona brings back its weekend sports coverage with the return of the Diumenge Esportiu and Dilluns Esportiu supplements, offering comprehensive reporting on regional competitions, local clubs, and major professional leagues through the end of May. The publishing schedule spans the active sports calendar, pausing only for one week during the Christmas holidays, as reported by Diari de Girona.

Weekend Supplements Launch Regional Coverage

Basketball action has already tipped off with the start of the Women’s League, Women’s League 2, and Segunda FEB, while the OK Hockey League prepares for its opening matches later this month. Diari de Girona structures its weekend reporting to deliver dedicated coverage of Girona FC, FIATC Girona, and Spar Girona, alongside previews and match reports for Olot and Girona B in Segunda RFEF. Territorial football coverage extends into the Primera and Segona Catalana divisions, rounding out local competition analysis with results, standings, and multi-sport tables.

Sunday and Monday Editions Cover Local Sporting Fixtures

Supplement sizing adapts dynamically to each weekend’s sporting calendar. The Sunday edition features eight pages dedicated to immediate fixtures, including the Liga Femenina matchup between Estudiantes and Spar Girona, alongside the Girona handball derby for the Primera Nacional leadership featuring Sarrià and Bordils. Monday’s expanded 12-page edition captures the aftermath of Girona’s football fixture against Mallorca and FIATC Girona’s Liga ACB contest against Baskonia. Alongside provincial fixtures, the sports desk maintains coverage of top-flight Catalan clubs Barcelona and Espanyol, as well as the Formula 1 and motorcycle world championships.

Backpage Features Track Former Athletes and Amateur Heroes

Both supplements feature distinct front covers and a central pull-out section inside the main newspaper. Readers also regain two popular backpage recurring features: “Què se n’ha fet de…?”, which tracks the current lives of former Girona sports figures, and “Herois anònims,” a spotlight on individuals who dedicate their time to amateur sports without financial compensation. Josep Guardiola provides opinion columns on Girona's matches, offering post-game analysis and dressing-room perspectives the day after fixtures.

Regional Coverage Spans Basketball Handball and Roller Hockey

Regional multi-sport coverage spans multiple divisions and disciplines across Catalonia. Bisbal Bàsquet enters its third campaign in Segunda FEB, while GEiEG Pacisa competes in Liga Femenina 2. In men’s and women’s handball, Bordils, Sarrià, and Handbol Garbí contest the Primera Nacional. Roller hockey returns to local focus with SHUM Maçanet and Lloret Vila re-entering the OK League, joined by GEiEG, Olot, and Palafrugell in OK League Plata competition.
