They are going to be some intense days of basketball that we are going to be able to experience in Huelva and I would like to encourage the public and the many basketball fans that we have in our city not to miss it, because we are going to enjoy very exciting matches.
It is our opportunity to demonstrate once again that we are a city that vibrates with sport, because we will also have the honor of being able to cheer on two teams from our capital” stressed the mayor of Huelva, Gabriel Cruz.
