Alavés presents the postage stamp commemorating the club's Centennial

Was a January 23, 1921 when the leaders of Sport’s Friends decided to change the name of the entity to Deportivo Alavés. Last Saturday, against Real Madrid, that anniversary was commemorated. Today the postage stamp was presented.

In the act were Roberto Asensio, Delegate in the north zone and Alfonso Fernández de Trocóniz, president of the club. “It is not easy for a stamp like this to be issued but it is not so common to be one hundred years old”, Asensio said. “For us it is an honor that you have counted on us for this series within Ephemeris”, has added Trocóniz. Therefore, the activities related to the Centennial continue. A book, a deck of cards, a hymn in Spanish and another in Basque, a hasstag and an ONCE coupon have already been presented, which was raffled off last Sunday, January 17. A giant flag was also raised in the stadium and the design of the shield was changed. There is still a documentary to be presented and several more events to celebrate one hundred years.

Meanwhile, Abelardo's team has fallen to the relegation places. Osasuna's victory against Granada has left him on the edge of the abyss, with only 18 points. On Sunday he has a key appointment against Getafe in Madrid and next Friday he will host Valladolid in Mendizorroza. Today he has rested and tomorrow he will return to training at 11 in the sports city of Ibaia, on the outskirts of Vitoria. Edgar is ruled out for five yellows, Rodrigo Ely for his broken crusader and we will have to see what happens to Guidetti, who last week had sore throats.
