From the Department of Sports of the Orihuela City Council, on my behalf and that of all the staff that is part of it, I want to welcome you to this new digital platform of the Department of Sports, which I have the honor to represent.

From this space, I want to invite you to meet and participate in the wide sports offer that we have in the city, in addition to serving as a dissemination and promotion of municipal sports activity, as well as a benchmark in terms of municipal sports.

It is a page open to our Municipal Schools, to all the clubs and associations of our municipality and to all the people who, in one way or another, practice and support sport.

The main objective that we have from the council is to promote a healthy lifestyle guaranteeing all citizens access to any type of physical activity and sport, developing their practice in the municipal facilities of Orihuela.

Sport, in addition to providing us with health, instills values ??such as respect, coexistence, competitiveness, a desire to improve, etc. It also helps us achieve a state of physical, psychological and social well-being. These are values ??that we need on a day-to-day basis.

From the council we are working to promote sport for everyone (initiation, grassroots sports, health, recreational and recreational sports), in order to offer you the widest possible sports offer.

We are aware of the need for new facilities and the improvement of existing ones, so we will work to offer citizens the best services and facilities in the best conditions to practice sports. We believe that we must be close to athletes and at their service, attending to their requests and opinions because if we are here it is thanks to all of you.

Finally, I would like to thank all the sports clubs and associations of Orihuela for the support and promotion of sports in the city, all the monitors and managers of the municipal sports schools, and the staff of the council for their tireless work and helps so that all this can be carried out.
