Sports upgrade

THE Santiago de la Ribera football ground is undergoing transformative upgrades, funded by the San Javier Town Hall with almost €400,000. The additions include a 400seater stand, showers, and changing rooms for the benefit of the Sports Faculty and the local Santiago de la Ribera Riber Club. The mayor of San Javier, José Miguel Luengo, confirmed the facilities will be ready for use in September, enhancing the quality of sports practice and community engagement. The ongoing development aims to create a premier sports complex, having already inaugurated the football pitch in 2021.

Future plans involve constructing triple pavilions with training rooms and laboratories to expand the Faculty of Sports Sciences’ offerings. This ambitious project is set to elevate sports and education opportunities in the region, fostering growth and excellence for athletes and students alike.
