Balears FC visited the Semilac training center this Wednesday, where the renewal of the sponsorship for another season was announced, along with the official presentation of the two new signings for the women’s first team: Naroa Santana and Raquel Gurrionero.

Sponsorship Renewal

Semilac and Balears FC will continue together for another season. This will be the fifth consecutive year of collaboration between both parties.

Sporting director Marc Julià opened the event by thanking the brand for its commitment:

“First of all, I want to thank Semilac for continuing to support women’s football. This is our fifth season together, and I hope it lasts much longer.”

Player Presentations

On the new signings, Marc Julià highlighted:

  • Raquel Gurrionero: “She returns home after two years away. At 23, she’s a central defender who brings strength, aerial presence, and character.”
  • Naroa Santana: “She’s 22, from Gipuzkoa, and developed her entire career in Real Sociedad’s academy. She’s a box-to-box midfielder with great organizational ability and attacking presence.”

Players’ Statements

Raquel Gurrionero:

“Obviously, there’s no place like home. I’m really happy to be back, the opportunity came up and I’m delighted.”

“Leaving also teaches you a lot, and now I’m here to give everything I can for the team and our goals.”

“There are many new players, but luckily I already knew some of them, and they’ve welcomed me warmly.”

“We’re a very motivated and ambitious team.”

Naroa Santana:

“I’m really happy to come here, I needed a change. From the very first moment I knew this was the place for me.”

“I’m a player who works hard every day, very consistent, and also a hardworking person.”

“From the moment I arrived, I felt really supported. We’re all united and eager to achieve.”

“We’re working step by step to reach our goals.”

“It’s my first time on the island, and honestly the weather is great and the people have treated me really well.”

The club welcomes them and wishes them the best of luck.
