The supermarket chain SPAR Gran Canaria has formalized the renewal of its sponsorship with the lateen sail boat SPAR Guerra del Río, consolidating a collaboration that spans 23 years and reaffirms its commitment to indigenous sport in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria.

The agreement for the new season was sealed this Friday at the Muelle Deportivo in the capital of Gran Canaria, an event that also served to introduce the crew that will compete this year in the main tournaments of the discipline. This alliance underscores the chain's dedication to preserving and fostering the archipelago's sporting traditions.

"It is essential to continue supporting initiatives that contribute to keeping the sporting traditions of the archipelago alive, highlighting the cultural and social value of Canarian lateen sailing."

The vessel's representatives expressed their gratitude for the continued support, emphasizing that this backing is crucial for aspiring to the podium again this season and for further spreading lateen sailing among new fans and athletes. They recalled the team's achievements, including the runner-up position in the top Canarian lateen sailing competition, the Campeonato Aguas de Teror, in the previous season.
With this renewal, SPAR Gran Canaria reinforces its commitment to the future of lateen sailing, promoting youth development and encouraging young people to engage in the sport. The club will participate in various training activities and summer camps organized by the Federation throughout 2026, aiming to ensure generational succession and the continuity of this distinctive sporting tradition of Gran Canaria.
