The Athletic Club has reached an agreement with the Basque Team Foundation to host in the residence of the rojiblanca quarry in Lezama to several of the sportsmen who received scholarships from the foundation.
Basque Team Zentroa, located in Fadura (Getxo), will start its remodeling works shortly, so the athletes have to be temporarily relocated.
As reported by the Basque Team Foundation, in its “firm commitment” to the development of sport in the Basque Country, Athletic Club is one of the Basque Team’s main collaborators, and has already received its first two athletes, the Olympic javelin player Odei Jainaga and the marathoner Hamid Ben Daoud, accompanied by his coach Hassan Redad.
The second delegation will arrive on January 10 with five surfers. Will stay Ariane Ochoa, Janire Gonzalez Etxabarri, Rubén Vitoria and Bitor Garitaonandia.
“All and all are great realities, on the tartan, on the asphalt and in the water, and surely soon world hits will come and Olympians such as goalkeeper Unai Simón, a silver medalist in Tokyo 2021 “, highlighted the Basque Team.
In addition, he has indicated that Athletic Club has been “sensitive to the needs” of the Basque Team, “since it has sufficient rooms and services compatible with the needs of lower-level footballers who are trained in Lezama.”
