This union is the result of a deep and committed agreement between two iconic clubs that embody the essence and passion for basketball in Girona. The city has witnessed a milestone that marks the beginning of a new chapter for local basketball.<\/p><p>A video showcasing iconic moments from both clubs kicked off the event, recalling the history of the two entities and reinforcing the profound meaning of the union: the strength of a shared journey and a city that lives and breathes basketball.<\/p><p><strong>A PROJECT WITH VALUES<\/strong><\/p><p>A conversation between Marc Gasol and Cayetano P\u00e9rez laid out the foundations of this union, described as both a strategic and emotional decision aimed at growing together, with greater strength and a unified structure.<\/p><p>Gasol emphasized that the integration brings all of Uni Girona\u2019s assets into B\u00e0squet Girona. This does not imply the disappearance of Uni, but rather preserves its essence, values, and legacy, integrating part of its board into the new Advisory Council of the club, with Cayetano P\u00e9rez in charge of the women\u2019s project.<\/p><p>This structure will enhance synergies in areas such as management, logistics, financing, and communication, and will strengthen the \u201cGirona\u201d brand as a sporting reference. Gasol defended this move as a way to ensure a sustainable and competitive model, open to Europe and new sponsorship opportunities, through integral and professional management.<\/p><p><strong>STRENGTHENING IDENTITY, BRINGING TOGETHER FANS<\/strong><\/p><p>Both Gasol and P\u00e9rez highlighted the role of the fans in this new path. The goal is to ensure everyone feels included and that the project reflects the city\u2019s passion and identity.<\/p><p>P\u00e9rez stated that this unification represents a great opportunity to secure the viability of the women\u2019s team, to compete at the highest level while maintaining the style and closeness that have defined Uni Girona. \u201cWe\u2019re sharing synergies. We&#8217;ve been working together for years, and being able to optimize resources will help us grow. The women\u2019s team needed a boost, and joining forces with B\u00e0squet Girona will provide it. We hope to stay at the top and remain competitive.\u201d<\/p><p>Gasol, in turn, called for trust from fans who may still have doubts: \u201cIt\u2019s not just about results. This is a commitment to values, to unity, to joining forces, and to building a solid, recognizable, and rooted project.\u201d<\/p><p><strong>FROM YOUTH TO ELITE<\/strong><\/p><p>This union caps off a journey that began three seasons ago with joint youth development work. The experience has been very positive and has become the model for this new phase, in which both professional teams will now operate under the same structure. \u201cWhen we started with the youth programs, the doubts disappeared. We&#8217;ve worked hand in hand all these years and the results have been excellent. We\u2019re happy and proud of the path we began three years ago and that culminates today,\u201d said Marc Gasol.<\/p><p>With this integration, the club aligns with other major national benchmarks such as Valencia Basket, Casademont Zaragoza, and Club Joventut Badalona, and positions itself as a unique sports project, committed to development, equality, and excellence.<\/p><p><strong>THE FUTURE IS OURS. TOGETHER, WE ARE GIRONA<\/strong><\/p><p>One of the highlights of the event was the screening of the official unification video, which brought visuals and emotion to this new project. With a clear and inspiring message \u2014 <em>United to Keep Growing<\/em> \u2014 the video marked the symbolic launch of this shared journey.<\/p><p>The event concluded with official photo sessions and a relaxed gathering of all attendees. With this step, Girona establishes a unified city sports project, with future vision, strong local roots, and a firm commitment to development, equity, and excellence.<\/p><p><em>United to Keep Growing.<\/em><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Girona, June 18, 2025 \u2013 Under the slogan United to Keep Growing, B\u00e0squet Girona and Uni Girona have officially announced their unification in a historic event held at Fontajau.
