The Spanish women’s national handball team is planning a training camp this week in Torrevieja, a familiar location for the squad after their December 2021 World Cup appearance there. The gathering signals a focused build as the team prepares for a major continental event and fine tunes its roster and tactics ahead of the European Championship slated to take place from November 4 to November 20. The championship group includes Slovenia, North Macedonia, and Montenegro as the opponents in the early rounds, and the team is expected to sharpen its game plan through this concentrated period.
Led by head coach Jose Ignacio Prades and assisted by the experienced Lara Gonzalez from Santa Pola and Paula Arcos from Peter, the squad will use the saline-clay courts and controlled facilities of Torrevieja to work on defense, attack rotations, and transition speed. The training camp is designed to simulate high-intensity match conditions, with daily sessions that emphasize cohesion, timing, and decision-making under pressure. Players will also engage in strength and conditioning work to improve endurance across the tournament’s demanding schedule, aiming to peak at the right moment for the European Championship’s decisive matches.
During the visit, the team will also play three friendly games at the Tavi and Carmona Sports Palaces in Torrevieja as part of the XXV International Tournament of Spain. The schedule includes a clash against Tunisia on Friday evening, October 28 at 21:00, followed by a match against Egypt on Saturday at 18:00, and a final test against Switzerland on Sunday at 13:00. These fixtures offer valuable competitive exposure and an opportunity to evaluate different lineups, rotations, and tactical variations before the national squad commits to the championship phase.
Ticketing information confirms that the event is accessible to fans, with adult season tickets priced at 30 euros for the three games and individual tickets at 15 euros per game. For younger supporters, a child season ticket, valid for those up to 14 years old, is offered at 15 euros, while individual seats are available for five euros. The venue’s capacity accommodates 2,688 spectators, a size that promises an intimate atmosphere where players can feel substantial support as they go through intense on-court sessions and high-stakes scrimmages.
