The arrival in the city seems to have a double meaning New Basket Brindisi of the Pagliara brothers’ Valtur. Not only as a sponsor of the restart in Serie A2 to forcefully attempt an immediate climb back to LBA in a championship that promises to be very complicated, but with direct promotions. The second part concerns, as “Il Quotidiano di Puglia” writes this morning, the possible entry into the company that is building the PalaEventi to give a decisive blow for the construction of the new home of New Basket. A structure that will need extra-sporting events to complete a virtuous management cycle that will make it economically productive and Valtur is a leader in the sector. From bureaucratic delays to damages due to Covid, the PalaEventi is making its way through many problems; the amount needed for its construction has risen from 16 to 21 million euros. But we are still far from laying the first stone, and the availability of the facility for the 2026 Mediterranean Games seems quite at risk. The entry of the Pagliara brothers could provide the necessary gas for acceleration for the construction of a structure that should accommodate 6,500 spectators with a car park, and which will be a necessary piece to bring Brindisi basketball back to Serie A.
