Ipurua, meeting point for football that transforms
The Annex of Ipurua hosted a new phase of the National 7-a-side Football League for CP with a full set of victories for Eibar, while the Genuine team competed in Mareo in the second stop of the season.
March was marked in red on the calendar of the SD Eibar Foundation. A month of challenging goals, kilometers, and competition… but also of institutional responsibility. Because when Ipurua opens its doors to some of the most special competitions on the national scene, football transcends the scoreboard and becomes something greater.
Eibar PC responds at home
The Eibar PC, reigning champion of the National 7-a-side Football League PC organized by the Spanish Federation of Sports for People with Cerebral Palsy and Acquired Brain Injury (FEDPC), faced matchdays 4 and 5 of the competition with an added incentive: playing in front of their own fans.
The Ipurua Annex was the venue on March 7 and 8, for a new gathering of this league that brings together teams formed by people with cerebral palsy and acquired brain injury. A competition in which the Armero team has established itself as a national benchmark.
In sports terms, the results could not have been more positive.
- Saturday, March 7 – 4:30 PM
SD Eibar Foundation 4 – 0 Hércules
Goals: Rueda, Almeida (2), and Ibarra. - Sunday, March 8 – 9:00 AM
SD Eibar Foundation 4 – 2 Disport
Goals: Rueda, Gamiz, and Yerik (2).
Two victories that reinforce the team's good form and allow the Armero team to remain at the top of the table alongside the best. But the weekend left much more than results.
Much more than football
Beyond the strictly sporting aspect, the event at the Ipurua Annex was once again a true statement of intent.
The SD Eibar, with the support of Grupo Eibar, is one of the few professional clubs that has a specific football section for people with cerebral palsy and acquired brain injury. Hosting another phase of the National League at home reinforces that commitment and projects the club's role as an active agent of social inclusion.
Acting as hosts is not just an organizational matter. It is about opening our doors, giving visibility to this modality, and turning football into a true social engine for our neighbors.
For two days, Ipurua was once again a space for meeting, inclusion, and community. A place where players, clubs, and families share much more than a competition.
Because competing is important. But building a society is important too.

LaLiga Genuine: second stop in Mareo
The other competitive front of the weekend took the Armeros far from home. The SD Eibar Fundazioa returned to action in the second phase of LALIGA Genuine Moeve, held on March 7 and 8 at the Mareo Football School (Gijón).
After a solid start to the season in Tarragona within the Respect Group, the Armero team faced a new calendar event against high-level rivals.
- Saturday, March 7 – 18:00
Real Valladolid 3 – 1 SD Eibar Fundazioa - Sunday, March 8 – 11:00
SD Eibar Fundazioa 1 – 2 Real Sociedad Fundazioa
On this occasion, the results did not favor the Armero team, which competed with intensity and enthusiasm in both matches but failed to score in the standings.
However, as always happens in LaLiga Genuine, the scoreboard is only part of the story. The camaraderie, sportsmanship, and values that define this competition once again marked a weekend that reaffirms the role of football as a tool for integration.
