The Polideportivo Municipal Antonio Sánchez de la Calle in Béjar will host the final of the Copa de Castilla y León Femenina ‘Carlos Sainz Esteban’ this Saturday, featuring a matchup between Perfumerías Avenida and Recoletas Zamora at 19:00 local time, according to local reports. The clash brings together two of the premier women’s basketball programs in Castilla y León as they vie for the region’s opening silverware of the new campaign.
Béjar’s selection as the host city follows sustained efforts by local basketball organizers and municipal leaders. According to statements gathered by regional outlets, club representatives and city officials emphasized the logistical and athletic significance of bringing a regional showcase to the municipality.
«Es un orgullo para Béjar.
The path to the final required a resilient defensive effort from Recoletas Zamora. Reporting from regional sports desks indicates that Zamora secured its title match berth by defeating Mipelletymas BF León across a two-game aggregate series. Zamora established a 20-point cushion by taking the opening leg 66–46 in Benavente. Although BF León mounted a comeback during the return leg three days later—trimming the deficit and testing Zamora’s composure in the third quarter—Zamora held on through a 69–59 defeat to claim the series by a 125–115 aggregate score, setting up the showdown against Perfumerías Avenida.
Institutional collaboration between municipal authorities, the Basketball Federation of Castilla y León (FBCyL), and local clubs has underpinned the event’s organization. Fernando Vázquez, vice president of the FBCyL and provincial delegate in Salamanca, pointed to the reopening of the Llano Alto hostel as a cornerstone for regional sports development, facilitating continuous team training camps and technical gatherings in the city. Additionally, structural enhancements—such as new minibasket hoops at the Polideportivo Sierra de Béjar—aim to expand developmental pathways for youth and municipal sports schools.
Action at the Polideportivo Sierra de Béjar will begin hours before the opening tip-off. The Asociación Castellano y Leonesa de Entrenadores de Baloncesto (ACLEB), in cooperation with the FBCyL, has scheduled a coaching clinic at 12:00 local time. Coach Juanjo García will lead the educational session, titled «Llegar jugando con sistema ofensivo 4-1», designed for regional coaches and basketball instructors.
Tickets for the final carry a single price of 3 euros, with free admission for children aged 10 and under. Fans unable to attend the venue in person can follow the action via the official YouTube channel.
