Ygueravide’s departure adds to the confirmed exits of Vionise Pierre-Louis, Natasha Mack, Imane Tate, Migna Touré, and Borislava Hristova.
Spar Girona announces that Sandra Ygueravide will not continue with the team next season. The Valencian point guard and team captain is retiring from 5×5 basketball at the age of 40 to focus exclusively on the 3×3 format, where she is an international and Olympic silver medallist at the Paris Games.
After two seasons wearing our jersey with passion and talent, Ygueravide has decided to close a brilliant chapter on the court. “I’m putting an end to a journey that lasted much longer than I ever imagined. If you’d told me at 9 years old, I wouldn’t have believed it. It’s been a career I’ve always enjoyed, and I take a little bit of all of you with me. I hope I’ve been able to give something back to you too,” she shared in an emotional farewell video.
With a long and international career, Sandra has left her mark in clubs across six different leagues: Ros Casares, Perfumerías Avenida, Arranz Jopisa de Burgos, Estudiantes, Hondarribia, Aix-en-Provence (France), Adana Botas, Hatay, Mersin, and Besiktas in Turkey; Santa Maria (Ecuador); CREF Hola Madrid, Wisla (Poland), Nadezhda (Russia), Uni Gyor (Hungary), ESBVA (France), Gernika, and Uni Girona.
From the club, we want to express our deepest gratitude to Sandra for her professionalism, leadership, and commitment. Thank you for everything, capi. We wish you all the best in this new chapter. This will always be your home.
