White smoke. Amorebieta has already decided where it will play its home matches in the SmartBank League. He will do so in the field number 2 of Lezama after the approval given by the football association, which pushed back the possibility of playing in Urritxe, his field, and did not give permission to reform it due to lack of time.
“The zornotzarra club received this afternoon a favorable report from LaLiga, whose technical managers inspected the Athletic facilities last Monday. It will be the field 2 of Lezama, in which the first women's team and Bilbao Athletic usually compete, which will host the matches of the zornotzarra team next year “, says the entity directed by Jon
Larrea in the statement.
The body led by Javier
Thebes forces to carry out a series of improvements in the rojiblancas facilities before the start of the competition. “The club fully trusts in being able to satisfy in time and form the requirements set by LaLiga”, adds the Zornotzarra entity.
Amorebieta shows its gratitude to Athletic, “without whose predisposition, collaboration and sensitivity it would have been impossible for them to give a satisfactory solution to the delicate situation in which the Amorebieta-Etxano entity found itself after the LaLiga technicians dismissed it as 'unviable' the possibility of hosting their matches as a local in the municipal field of Urritxe, as was their intention, “they add.
This gratitude is extended to the board that presides Aitor
Elizegi, “Who has followed closely and with the utmost interest the entire process, and all the professionals of the Ibaigane club who have made possible the acceptance of Lezama as headquarters”.
Amorebieta is already an agreed Ibaigane club, but this commitment unites them much more to Athletic. “Before joining the Board of Directors, we said that in our project an SDA that was not from the hand of Athletic was not even imaginable. The experience of recent days, the way in which the Board of Directors and the Athletic professionals have turned to help us solve a ballot as difficult as finding a new field in record time in which to undertake a new adventure, reaffirms us in our vocation of service, collaboration and bonding with Athletic ”, he assures Jon
Larrea.
This reaffirms us in our vocation of service, collaboration and relationship with Athletic
Amorebieta also communicates that it is already working to promote the transfer of its partners and fans from Zornotza to Lezama when the team led by Iñigo
Velez
from
Mendizabal play at home. “Likewise, the Board plans to contact in the next few days with the corresponding institutional managers to study, design and implement all those formulas that make compatible, on the one hand, the fact of playing as host in Lezama and, on the other, the I wish that the entire town of Amorebieta-Etxano can live and enjoy the exciting experience that next season has in store for us ”, they say.
“We will not deny that the ideal would have been to be able to play our games in Urritxe, but once that option has been ruled out, Lezama's is, without a doubt, the best possible solution. Its geographical proximity allows us to harbor hopes that the whole town can participate and enjoy a historic milestone such as that of our debut in LaLiga SmartBank, and we are going to do our best to make it happen ”, affirms the blue president.
The distance between Amorebieta and Lezama is approximately 15 kilometers.
