They gather this Saturday starting at eight in the morning inside Palau d’Esports l’Illa for TM Benidorm. There will be no party—just a day that marks a turning point for the team and a farewell moment for Benidorm’s captain, Carlos Grau Cussac. It will be his last 60 minutes on the track and a chance for fans to show their appreciation in person.

Even with the emotional weight of the moment, the meeting holds real significance for both teams. Fernando Latorre’s squad understands that a win over Blendio Sinfin Santander could pull TM Benidorm farther from the danger zone in the Asobal League standings.
The Cantabrians will not be easy opponents. They arrive at Palau d’Esports L’Illa riding a strong wave after three straight wins, and their goalkeeper Mohamed Aly has posted remarkable saves, with a 51% success rate, including a key victory against Cisne the day before. The clash promises to be a tightly contested encounter, with Benidorm needing to pull out all the stops to secure two points in the national league and restore some peace of mind in the squad.
Benidorm departs into February with a busy schedule, balancing Asobal League fixtures with the European Cup. On the night, all rostered players are expected to be available to Latorre. For the first time in the season, Pepe Oliver is anticipated to see minutes following shoulder surgery last summer, a potential boost for the home side.
