Barça and Bidasoa Irun signed one of the great matches of this current edition of the Plenitude League this Saturday. With the leadership at stake, months after drawing in the first match at Artaleku and with the mystique of re-debuting after the national teams break, blaugranes and bidasotarras offered a great show at the Palau Blaugrana, with some of the most talented players in the competition on the court and the 'New Era, New ASOBAL' seal in the stands. The official debut of Rayo, the competition's mascot, was the common thread of an evening of elite sport with a charitable touch thanks to the 'Brazaletes de Esperanza' initiative that ASOBAL and the Spanish Association against Cancer launched.

Players and technical staff wore a solidarity bracelet as a sign of support for the #TodosContraElCáncer movement, which works to achieve a survival rate of 70% in cases diagnosed by 2030. In total, the match had a more than ample range of attractions. The result was its most evident consequence. The Palau recorded its best attendance rate of the 2023/2024 season, with 2,241 fans in the stands, who enjoyed the game actions and various activities led by Barça designed for the youngest fans. Pure handball. 2024, now yes, has started.
