Torrevieja Awarded Sports Quality Seal

The City Council of Torrevieja has been awarded the Sports Quality Seal in acknowledgement of its administration of municipal sports facilities, services, and programs aimed at promoting physical activity and sport. This certification is granted by the International Institute for Excellence and Sports Certifications, in cooperation with the Spanish Sports Association.

The award acknowledges the caliber of the council's athletic policies, facilities, activities, and public programs, as well as its dedication to continually enhancing the services available to residents.

Diana Box Alonso, Sports Councillor, stated that the award reflects the collaborative efforts of the Sports Department, municipal technicians, local clubs, organizations, and all individuals involved in sports throughout the city. She emphasized that this is excellent news for Torrevieja and a recognition of the work being done by the Sports Department.

Box highlighted the city's extensive sporting infrastructure, diverse program of activities, and capability to organize and host competitions and major events. However, she stressed that the council's goal remains to improve its facilities and create more sporting opportunities for residents.

The certification evaluates several aspects, including public sports management, infrastructure and equipment, municipal programs, and the quality of services provided to users. It is intended to recognize organizations that maintain high management standards while encouraging physical activity and enhancing residents' well-being.

The award also contributes to Torrevieja's growing reputation as a sports tourism destination. Its facilities and organizational capacity allow the city to host competitions, training camps, and events in various disciplines, attracting visiting athletes, clubs, and spectators. Municipal officials noted that sport also contributes to public health, social cohesion, tourism, and economic development.

The Sports Quality Seal is renewed annually, with the assessment process examining facilities, programs, services, and results. Participating authorities must also identify and implement improvements to maintain the required standards. Torrevieja City Council stated that it will continue modernizing its sporting infrastructure and developing programs supporting grassroots participants, local clubs, and major competitions.

Box concluded, "This seal is not the end of the journey, but an incentive to continue working. We want Torrevieja to keep growing as a city of sport, and for residents to feel proud of the facilities, activities, and services available to them."
