Granadilla Egatesa will debut next season in the newly created Liga Ellas. For the first time in the history of women’s football, the highest category of this sport will be the professional category, as approved a few weeks ago by the Higher Sports Council (CSD).
With this, a series of requirements demanded by the federation that the team chaired by Sergio Batista would not meet today. One of the most important, being able to play their matches at home, in an enclosure with natural and not artificial grass, as the Tenerife team currently does every time they play in La Palmera (Granadilla).
On the island, there are few surfaces that meet these requirements. As stadiums, the Heliodoro Rodríguez López, the Antonio Domínguez de Arona, Los Cuartos in La Orotava, Tíncer and the Francisco Peraza Stadium in La Laguna.
The San Sebastián street venue hosts the training sessions and official matches of CD Tenerife in the Second Division. There would lie one of the problems to alternate the use of its facilities. This Monday, the Vice President of the Cabildo de Tenerife, Enrique Arriaga, gave an interview to Radio Club Tenerife in which he discussed, among other issues, how the situation with the two blue and white teams is currently:
USE OF THE HELIODORE GRANADILLA
“The problem that Granadilla has is that when they go to the professional league, playing in La Palmera has it complicated. I have already talked about it several times with its president Sergio Batista.”
“We believe that he should play for Heliodoro, the problem he has is that every time the field opens for an event it has a significant cost. In the case of CD Tenerife in the professional league he can assume it, but in the case of the Granadilla would have to find the formula to be able to help him, it would be necessary to see if there is a problem with CD Tenerife to make the use of the stadium compatible, I hope there are no problems “.
WORKS ON THE HELIODOR
“The works are going at a good pace, there was a small delay due to the issue of the supply of the lights. In the month of September we hope that there will be no problems and the league can start with the new lighting.”
WORKS IN THE SPORTS CITY
“The works of the sports city are directly the subject of Acciona, the company, with CD Tenerife, we there through the agreement is to make a series of contributions that at some point had problems, an agreement was reached with the club to try delay them a bit, but there is no problem, they are even talking to make another advance to start the works “.
PUBLIC IN THE BASKETBALL SUPERCUP TO BE PLAYED IN TENERIFE
“It is one of the lines that the Government of the Canary Islands has marked, to be able to use the Covid passport so that the number of fans can be increased depending on whether or not they have the passport, but it is an issue that we will see how it goes and hope that the rate of vaccination is as it is now and the number of positive cases may drop as the weeks go by. At the end of August, beginning of September we will make a decision with the health department to see the public that can finally enter the premises “.
