The LF Endesa classic returns to Fontajau

Spar Girona | Saturday, 03 January 2026

Fontajau is preparing to host a new chapter of the great LF Endesa classic between Spar Girona and Perfumerías Avenida, a clash full of history, demands and emotion. A duel that, over the years, has had everything: title fights, maximum equality, alternating domains and very different contexts, but which maintains its ability to attract attention and become a top-level competitive stimulus.

About the opponent

Perfumerías Avenida arrives in Fontajau in fourth position, with a record of eight wins and five losses, a classification that may surprise if one takes into account the historical weight of one of the most important clubs in European basketball. The Castilians have just fallen in the last round on the court of Innova-TSN Leganés by 69 to 64, in an always demanding scenario.

Coached by Anna Montañana, the team arrives with some notable losses, such as former Girona player Regan Magarity, but maintains a very talented squad, with names like the young Iyana Martin, national players Clàudia Soriano, Arrojo and Villaró, or the North American interior Cave.

In the last visit to Fontajau, the team from Salamanca won 58 to 71, a recent precedent that reinforces the difficulty of the challenge.

Our team

Spar Girona face the match leading the LF Endesa classification, tied at the top with Casademont Zaragoza, and do so immersed in a very positive dynamic, with eight consecutive victories. In this context, Roberto Íñiguez has highlighted that the team must face the challenge with the appropriate competitive tone, pointing out that “we must be anxious to do things well and knowing that we are facing a historic team, which will play hard and which defensively is the one that fits the least”.

The Girona coach added that the match will require maturity in the most delicate moments, warning that “there will be moments in the match that will make us feel uncomfortable” and emphasizing that it will be determining “how this affects us and what personality we have to continue playing.”
