FIBRACAT, new sponsor for BAXI Manresa's Basketball Champions League participation

Fibracat, the global telecommunications operator in Catalonia, and BAXI Manresa today announced the sponsorship agreement for the European competition. The agreement implies that the telecommunications operator's brand will appear on the t-shirt and trousers, among other spaces of sponsorship. The president of the Bàsquet Manresa, Josep Sàez, thanked the commitment of a company "born in Manresa" to join the basketball project.

The Fibracat co-founder Meritxell Bautista has assured that "is an important event: the return of our city's basketball to European competitions and we wanted to be at your side" . "The Responsibility Social is part of Fibracat's DNA. In fact, Fibracat is born with the aim of rebalancing the territory, aware that optical fiber is an essential infrastructure for development ".

Bautista explained how sponsorship is made " while still losing the essence of Fibracat" . In fact, the company makes a commitment in its management model and in the organic development of the company for women's talent. Therefore, sponsorship makes a commitment in this same sense and focuses on the empowerment of women's sport.

The agreement implies, besides appearing on the shirt and the trousers, that Fibracat will bring a women's team, basketball players, to each match, to play in the rest of the European parties in the New Congost. In fact, two representatives of the CB Solsona, the first club that will participate this week in the middle of the game that the Catalans will face on the Polski Cukier Torun on Wednesday, have attended the event. Bautista thanked the support of Sònia González, coach of the CB Solsona, and Anna Pujol, female senior player.

The board of the technological company Meritxell Bautista reminded us that "this is the first sponsorship action that we want to extend over time and from which we want to make them share in other sports clubs or entities in Catalonia, which, like Fibracat, also bet on female talent "***. For this reason, it has announced that in the coming weeks the website will open at the reception of petitions of new female clubs to participate in the parties, as well as to receive patronage requests.

The president of BAXI Manresa, Josep Sáez, has valued the agreement positively and stressed that it is an expanding company in all of Catalonia who has made this commitment. In addition, Sáez wanted to emphasize that the contribution has a social dimension.
