Badalona inaugurates the second edition of the Champions Cup

Copa Campeones arrived in Badalona full of energy and excitement. After an inaugural day on Friday dedicated to welcome activities — including a visit to the Olympic Museum of Barcelona and a welcome event at the team hotel — Saturday dawned with a strong desire for competition. The teams were ready to showcase their potential on the court of the Pabellón Municipal de La Plana.

The first matches set the pace

The morning began with the clash between Joventut Badalona Fedamar and San Pablo Burgos Fundación Aurora. The green-black team took the victory in a match that set the competitive tone for the day. Following that, MoraBanc Andorra Escaldes-Engordany faced Fundación Bilbao Basket, with the Principality team triumphing as they demonstrated their playing ability on the Badalona court.

The morning session concluded with the matchup between San Pablo Burgos Fundación Aurora and CB Gran Canaria Proyecto Suma. The Burgos team prevailed in a match that ended the morning's competitions with authority, consolidating their presence in the tournament from day one.

The afternoon brings new emotions

After a break to regain strength, the afternoon continued with the same intensity. Fundación Bilbao Basket faced UCAM Murcia CB in a match that ended with a victory for the university team. This outcome showcased the competitive level of the participants and the potential of any team to surprise in this second edition of the tournament.

An event of inclusion and values

Copa Campeones is not just a basketball tournament. Sponsored by the Fundación ACB with the support of institutions like Banco Mediolanum, Endesa, GWM, Fundación ONCE, Pelayo, FCC-Medio Ambiente, Azulmarino, Wilson, and Erreá, alongside the collaboration of Special Olympics, this competition has a fundamental purpose: to promote social inclusion.

Sports become a powerful tool at this Badalona event to demonstrate that integration is possible and necessary. Each match, every basket, every defense is a step towards a more inclusive society where talent and passion for the game know no barriers. The teams competing in Badalona are ambassadors of this message.

A second edition with projection

This is the second edition of the Copa Campeones, which demonstrates the consolidation of a project that was born with the intention of permanence. The fact that it is once again held at the Pabellón Municipal de La Plana in Badalona underscores the importance of this locality as a venue for inclusive sports events.

The participating teams represent different Spanish territories, from Catalonia to Murcia, passing through Andorra and Castilla y León. This geographical diversity enriches the competition and broadens the reach of the inclusion message that Copa Campeones aims to convey. Each team brings with it the hopes of its territories, its fans, and its communities.

The start of Saturday's session confirmed that this second edition maintains the essence of the first: quality competition, an atmosphere of respect and coexistence, and the certainty that sports can generate memorable moments for all participants. Badalona thus establishes itself as a benchmark in hosting sports events that center around the values of inclusion and coexistence.
