This is the second time Spain She hosts this competition for which she was appointed Navarra in February 2023. After the refusal of this to be the meeting with the Israel delegation, the competition may finally be held thanks to the “Zaragoza commitment to the sport, which in this case is feminine and minority or less known,” he highlighted this Sunday, in the presentation of the tournament, the Council of Sports of Zaragoza, Félix Brocate.
18 countries participate in the championship

“The municipal government of Pamplona, whose mayor is from EH Bildu, has forbidden that in Pamplona the Israel team competes, which has recognized all sports rights to be able to do so both in this and in other sports,” Brocate explained. After multiple efforts of the president of the Royal Spanish Baseball and Sophult Federation, Pablo Carpio, “this European championship has been carried out, because he contacted us and, as Zaragoza has always been a solidarity city and at this time the sport is sufficiently important for this municipal government, we have agreed to coorganize this tournament.”
Collaboration with the Spanish Baseball and Sophult Federation

However, councilor Zaragozano has lamented “the lack of collaboration of the Higher Sports Council and the Ministry of Sports, whose head is Pilar Alegría, and the lack of respect before the high -level athletes of a female sports discipline that requires our support,” said Félix Brocate, “even more when we have not seen this circumstance with other sports in the same conditions.” With all this, councilor Zaragozano has asked “to know if in the CSD and in the Government of Spain it is committed to the promotion of sport or to follow the instructions of political parties such as EH Bildu.”
