Lloret Vila Esportiva faces a decisive match this Saturday in Lloret de Mar, Girona, with direct promotion to the OK Liga at stake. The team controls its own destiny in an exciting end to the season, needing a victory against Mataró to secure a return to Spain's top roller hockey division after five seasons.
Coach Manel Díez expressed confidence, stating, "It was a very complicated end to the league. We have won the first two finals and now we have the last one. We have earned the right to dream and to be able to go up directly." The team's recent wins against Manlleu and Vic have positioned them for this final push.
Final Match Decides Promotion Fate
The upcoming game against Mataró is the last fixture of the season. A win guarantees Lloret Vila Esportiva's direct ascent to the OK Liga. This would mark a significant achievement for the Selva region club, bringing top-tier roller hockey back to Lloret de Mar.
Even if direct promotion is not achieved, the team has already secured a place in the play-offs, offering a second chance to reach the OK Liga. However, the focus remains firmly on Saturday's match and the opportunity to avoid the play-off route altogether.
The club's journey back to the OK Liga has been a long-term objective, and this weekend's game represents the culmination of their efforts throughout the season. The community in Lloret de Mar is eagerly anticipating the outcome, hoping to celebrate their team's return to the elite level of Spanish roller hockey.
