For Lorca’s Mayor, Fulgencio Gil, «the arrival of the Spanish U-21 team in Lorca is a significant event for our municipality. We are proud to be able to host ‘La Rojita’ and offer our residents the opportunity to enjoy the talent of the football players who will represent Spain’s colors in the elite of world football. This event acknowledges the effort we have put into improving our local council’s sports facilities, and today we can proudly say that Lorca has the infrastructure to host meetings of this magnitude. I want to thank the regional government for choosing Lorca to host this match and to host our city’s U-21 team.»
This match celebration demonstrates our municipality’s strong commitment to sports and its role as a driver of social and economic development. During these days, Lorca will become a focal point for fans and the media, undoubtedly contributing to shaping our image nationally and internationally. We want both players and coaching staff, as well as fans, to visit us, feel at home, and enjoy our city’s hospitality. The Municipal Council will continue to work towards Lorca continuing to host top-level sports events, promoting grassroots sports, and fostering interest in physical activity across all age groups. We are confident that this match will be a great success and a football celebration for all Lorca residents and visitors.
In this regard, the U-21 coach, Santi Denia, thanked the city of Lorca «for the effort made by the Murcia Football Federation region to allow us to play here, where we always feel very comfortable. I encourage people in Lorca and Murcia to come to the game where we have additional pressure, as the U-21 team came to Lorca twice, in 2003 and 2008, and won.»
