Rocasa Gran Canaria is one step away from conquering the Liga Guerreras Iberdrola, hosting Súper Amara Bera Bera this Sunday in Telde with the chance to lift the trophy before their home fans.

The Telde-based team faces a crucial match at the Antonio Moreno pavilion, seeking to reclaim a league title they haven't won since the 2018-2019 season. After a valuable 19-23 victory in San Sebastián in the first leg of the final, the players led by Dejan Ojeda arrive with an advantage in the tie.
This final marks a milestone for the club, being the first time they have reached the Liga Guerreras Iberdrola final under the current playoff system. The clash against Súper Amara Bera Bera has become a classic in national handball, with nine finals played between the two teams.
Coach Dejan Ojeda emphasized the importance of the moment: "We deserve to be here and we have to seize the moment." The club expects the Antonio Moreno pavilion to become a "cauldron" with the support of the fans, considered "the eighth player" by player Eider Poles.
The keys to the match for the Gran Canarians will be maintaining a solid defense, intensity throughout the sixty minutes, and stopping the fast transitions of the San Sebastián team.
The day could be special for goalkeeper Silvia Navarro, a prominent figure in Spanish handball and a Rocasa legend, who is playing her final matches as a professional. A victory could mean her farewell with a new title.
Súper Amara Bera Bera, with players like Maitane Etxeberria and Elke Karsten, arrives in Gran Canaria needing to win to force a third game. The match will be played this Sunday, May 31st, at 6:45 PM and will be broadcast by Teledeporte and Radio Televisión Canaria.
