Catalonia Aims for Annual International Sporting Events

Catalonia's first sports advisor, Berni Álvarez, has announced the region's goal to host a major international sporting event every year, beginning with the Tour de France start in Barcelona this weekend.

Berni Álvarez, former professional basketball player and now the inaugural Consejero de Deportes for the Generalitat de Cataluña, revealed his ambitious plan during a plenary session at the Parliament of Catalonia. Despite his height (1.95m), Álvarez, a cycling enthusiast who followed Indurain's era, will officially kick off the Tour in Barcelona this Saturday, marking a historic moment for Catalan sports.

The new advisor expressed his commitment to positioning Catalonia as a premier destination for global sporting events. sport-tr.bet
