Handball Benidorm remains shaping its upcoming season among the elite, skipping the first ten Fernando Latorre on the bench. The Alicante club moved forward by strengthening its left back line with a fresh addition. Leo Alonso has joined Infinite Blend from Santander, signaling a clear intent to build depth and talent on the wing and back positions as they prepare for the challenges ahead.
The decision for Alonso to part ways with the Cantabrian team came as a personal choice that aligns with his ambition to embrace a new challenge. He will be tied to Benidorm for the next two seasons and will compete again in the Asobal League, representing the club as a key piece for the forthcoming campaign.
Speaking about his arrival, Leo Alonso expressed how grateful he feels for the opportunity and how excited he is to be part of a project that promises growth and success. He stressed his commitment to adapting quickly to the style of play and to contributing as much as possible to the team’s objectives in the coming seasons.

“I am grateful for what Sinfín has given me and I am leaving home. I hope to rise to the challenge, adjust rapidly to the game, and contribute as much as I can. This will be my new home”, the coach stated with confidence.
The Marina Baixa roster welcomes a rising talent with international experience and proven defensive strength. Alonso is the first key reinforcement TM Benidorm has announced for the next season, as he is set to lead the squad. Sergio Carballeira will be at the helm of this transition and the team’s leadership will be reinforced by the new backline presence.
Santista faces a tough outlook as the league schedule unfolds against Ademar
Guilherme Borges, a Brazilian known as Santista within Abanca Ademar, has dealt with a setback after an earlier clash with Ciudad de Logroño. Treatment involved growth factors aimed at the heel and right ankle, addressing the lingering discomfort that has affected his availability for recent matches.
The international center has managed to play sparingly as the situation developed, and the club decided not to participate in the ASOBAL Plenitude Cup held in León last weekend. The current situation means Santista will continue regenerative therapy intended to ease pain, with the prognosis still uncertain for the upcoming league commitments in the TM Benidorm circuit on Sunday.
Ademar’s coach Manolo Cadenas faced a dilemma with the Brazilian center’s potential absence. Losing that crucial attacking piece would have forced strategic shifts, especially with Greek forward Theodoros Boskos already out. The plan would likely involve Tiago Sousa in offensive duties and the versatility of Lithuanian center back Zanas Virbauskas to cover the gaps left by the missing players, illustrating how teams adapt when key personnel are sidelined.
