The Spanish Basketball Federation and Endesa have signed an agreement for the renewal by the electricity firm will continue as the Title Sponsor of the Endesa Women's League until the end of the 2023-2024 season. A staunch commitment that consolidates the continuous growth of a competition that has set the benchmark for women's basketball internationally.
Endesa, the Title Sponsor of the FEB, first gave its name to the LF Endesa at the start of the 2019-2020 campaign. Following this renewal, five seasons of the Women's League will have been associated with Endesa, the longest-serving Title Sponsor in its history.
The LF Endesa 2021-2022 playoffs will begin this weekend, with eight contenders for the title: Perfumerías Avenida, Valencia Basket, Spar Girona, Cadí La Seu, Casademont Zaragoza, IDK Euskotren, Movistar Estudiantes and Lointek Gernika.
Jorge Garbajosa: "This renewal represents a critical boost"
"I would like to thank Endesa for its staunch commitment to women's basketball, one of the main strategic pillars of the Spanish Basketball Federation. This renewal represents a critical boost for the growth of a competition that, as reflected by the results of our teams in European competitions, is among the best women's leagues in Europe. The trust between the two institutions is total and goes beyond any economic agreement on account of the values we share and that basketball reflects so well. I always say that Endesa is much more than a partner of the FEB, and this renewal provides yet another example of how our interests are completely aligned."
José Bogas: "Supporting basketball is about being close to society.
"Renewing this agreement with the FEB is something we take great pride in at Endesa, as it allows us to do something that we considered essential: being close to civil society, accompanying it to generate a positive impact through sport. Being by the side of the FEB in its fantastic work for basketball is a privilege that we have had for more than 10 years, when we started sponsoring the national teams. When the opportunity arose in 2019 to extend our sponsorship to the Endesa Women's League, we didn't hesitate in saying "yes" and we can now affirm that this is a story of growth and shared success through women's sport. We support the competition and we go one step further as part of social projects like Basket Girlz, which encourages teenage girls to play basketball throughout their lives and we also promote actions in relation to sustainable development. In short, supporting women's basketball is about being close to society and doing this hand in hand with the FEB is the best news we could have."
