Representatives from Intercity Group’s various teams and branches gathered in the intimate dining rooms of El Sorell to celebrate the start of a new year. The mood was buoyant as they toasted not just past accomplishments but the promise of 2024. The participants spanned the full spectrum of the organization: managers, technical staff, and players from CF Intercity, the Lucentum Foundation, CFI Intercity Women, CFI Alicante, Intercity Crevillent Futsal, and the Alicante Badminton Club. The gathering drew media attention, with reporters from multiple outlets present to capture the camaraderie and the forward-looking energy. Antonio Gallego, the sports councilor for Alicante City Council, joined the celebration, underscoring the city’s support for local clubs and the role that regional collaboration plays in driving athletic excellence. The event was more than a social toast; it was a visible demonstration of unity across the Intercity Group’s diverse sports programs and an early signal of the collaborative spirit that aims to lift all teams in the year ahead.
As the evening progressed, players, coaches, and managers from every team interacted with members of the press in a relaxed, open setting. The tone of the coverage reflected a club culture that values transparent dialogue and approachable leadership. Looking back at 2023, the group could point to a very favorable performance across the board. CF Intercity stood impressively close to earning promotion, while HLA Alicante secured a place in the playoffs, consistently competing at a high level in every match. The collective success of these programs was not merely about wins and losses; it was about strengthening the organization’s footprint in the region and building a resilient ecosystem that supports player development, community engagement, and sustained performance. The toast thus served as a pledge for 2024, a year in which the teams plan to translate momentum into tangible results, expand their outreach, and continue representing the broader Intercity brand with credibility and energy for fans and partners across Canada, the United States, and beyond. The participants left the room with a shared sense of momentum, ready to meet new challenges and celebrate forthcoming milestones together with supporters across North America who follow these clubs closely.
