Eleven years of VIVATURF artificial turf in La Palma

It seems like yesterday when the sports center of La Palma monopolized all eyes of athletes (specifically football fans) and Huelva palmerinos to be actually one of the strongest bets and ilusionantes election of the second term as Mayor Juan Carlos Lagares of city.

The December 22, 2001 was an important day in La Palma del Condado. He did not touch the National Lottery jackpot, but the best gift for the football family of the municipality. Officially opened the new football field with artificial turf.

The hard albero was replaced by a grass-art sports center did Palmerino, one of the largest sports complexes in the province of Huelva.

VIVATURF Artificial grass

If I'm not mistaken, La Palma del Condado was the third municipality in the province of Huelva in having an artificial turf field tech. Of course, over the years the grass has undergone a significant deterioration, because it is one of the areas most used by athletes palmerinos. Mainly, are La Palma CCD CF and the most joyful always use give the enclosure, but must also include the various leagues municipal, rentals and events organized by schools and sports clubs, schools and colleges.

I remember that cold December afternoon in which inaugurated the new municipal course, in the preferred regional meeting between CF and Atlético La Palma Santa Cruz. In a game that ended with a tie on the scoreboard and in which the kick-off was given by the President of La Palma CF, Ildefonso Aguilar (Becken).

I also remember the spectacular atmosphere of a grandstand waiting for the new look of a stadium it replaced, nothing more and nothing less than the historic and iconic Estadio La Zarcilla.

Over the years the new football field has been improving its facilities. A locker room expansion must unite to create a new tier that has a capacity of 400 spectators.

With the arrival of the Centenary of La Palma CF (2015) the Department of Sports will put the finishing touches on the fifth legislature Juan Carlos Lagares with the substitution of the new artificial turf. It will be without doubt one of the most important works to be carried out at the sports complex of La Palma, which has one of the most comprehensive facilities in the province of Huelva.
