BadalonaBadalona, which has not hosted the tournament since the 1984-85 season, is already ready to host the Copa del Rei basketball from Thursday, a strategic event that should serve to accentuate the city’s ties with the ball orange “The city is living these days before with a lot of emotion. All the collectives of Badalona have been involved and it is a great historical opportunity for the city. It had been four decades since we had this event and we are happy because basketball is coming back at home. One of our goals was for the whole city to feel the tournament as their own, and the response has been very good. We want Badalona to be seen in a positive light, which we want to project,” says Rubén Guijarro, mayor, to ARA from Badalona.
a great trial by fire for Badalona
