The president, Antonio Felices, and the general director of Caja Rural Central, José Víctor Guillén, signed the agreement in front of local media without specifying the amount that the club will receive, although it is understood that it could vary throughout the season based on additional agreements that are still to be announced “so we do not want to make the figures public at this time because they could change,” Guillén said.

Antonio Felices said that the the signing of this agreement is “an important arrangement for Orihuela . It is a very important sponsorship, because the company is the main and only independent bank with it’s operational headquarters of the entire Valencian Community,” he said.

José Víctor Guillén responded by saying that “for us it is almost an obligation to sponsor the club, because we are from Orihuela, where this year we celebrate our Centenary”. Guillén also had praise for the club structure and for the work of its board of directors, which in recent years “has proven to have values ​​that are important to us, such as work, effort, sacrifice and commitment. Values ​​that we also share.”

The club gets its league season underway on Sunday 25 August with a 1200 km round trip to SD Ejea, in the town of Ejea de los Caballeros, north of Zaragoza.
