This inclusive activity, held at the wrestling arena in Puerto del Rosario, aimed to bring traditional sport closer to the community, with a particular focus on individuals with functional diversity.
The workshop was divided into two parts: a theoretical section explaining the main wrestling techniques, and a practical section where participants showcased Canarian wrestling alongside professional teams from Fuerteventura.
Carmen Alonso, Councillor for Accessibility, and Luis González, Councillor for Sports, highlighted the collaboration between both departments to further promote inclusive sport and expressed gratitude for the support from Adivia and the Fuerteventura Wrestling Federation.
