Girona City Council has awarded a contract worth €11,717.40, including VAT, to replace the electronic scoreboards at the municipal football grounds in Can Gibert del Pla and Fontajau. According to the procurement award document, the work has been awarded to Manuel Madrid Lores and is due to be completed within three months.

For clubs and regular users of both grounds, the change means the current boards, which the council says are nearly 20 years old, are being replaced after reaching the end of their useful life. These municipal pitches are used by local grassroots and amateur football teams, so the upgrade affects routine training sessions and matches rather than a one-off event.

Contract award confirms replacement at both municipal grounds

The contract was published through the Ajuntament de Girona procurement and electronic noticeboard systems, and the award report is also listed on the Catalonia public procurement platform, Contractació Pública de Catalunya. The official document identifies the project as the installation of two new electronic scoreboards, one at Can Gibert del Pla and one at Fontajau.

  • Contract value: €11,717.40 including VAT
  • Contractor: Manuel Madrid Lores
  • Execution period: three months
  • Locations: municipal football grounds of Can Gibert del Pla and Fontajau
The existing scoreboards have become obsolete after nearly 20 years and have reached the end of their useful life, according to the procurement report published on Contractació Pública de Catalunya.

What local clubs and residents can do

The council has not published a phased timetable for each site in the award notice, only the overall three-month execution period. Clubs, coaches and residents who use the facilities can follow updates through the Ajuntament de Girona electronic noticeboard and the city council's procurement page.

Anyone who needs to report faults with the current scoreboards or ask about installation progress can contact the city council's sports department through the Ajuntament de Girona's usual municipal channels. The formal award is recorded in report 2024049824 on the Contractació Pública de Catalunya platform.
