New football field in Benissa

THE new eight­a­side soccer field in Benissa ­ the Mini Estadi de Benissa ‘Salvador Baidal’ ­ will officially open at the end of March. After overcoming setbacks caused by the rising cost of raw materials and supply delays due to the war in Ukraine, the council has confirmed that the new facility in Benissa will be finished during the second half of March.

This news has been received with great enthusiasm by the entire sports community in the town.

Apart from some work in the changing room area and outside, everything is ready for kick­off. The stadium will be named after Salvador Baidal, a key figure in the promotion and development of grassroots football in Benissa.

Baidal dedicated much of his life, time, and money to teaching children to pass, control and dribble, collecting the boys on Sundays for master classes.

A plaque dedicated to him will be unveiled at the official opening ceremony, whose date yet to be determined.

The councillor for sports, Adrián Cabrera has recognised the efforts of all the departments involved in making this new facility a reality.
