Aragonese Handball to See a Derby Again After a Decade

Aragonese handball will see a derby again this Friday at 7:00 p.m. at the Siglo XXI Pavilion. BM Contazara and Bada Huesca will begin a regional rivalry that has not occurred until now because they have competed in different divisions.

The two teams are in completely opposite situations. The Huesca side arrives highly motivated as league leaders after winning all four matches at the start of the season, while the Zaragoza team has yet to earn a point and sits at the bottom of the table.

That makes this an important clash for both sides. Contazara will look to make up for its poor start by securing its first win, while Bada will seek to confirm its good form with a fifth consecutive victory.

A DERBY, TEN YEARS LATER

It has been ten years since Aragón last saw a derby, after BM Aragón folded in 2016. Since then, Bada Huesca had been the only Aragonese team in Spain's top tier of handball.

Following Huesca's relegation and Contazara's rise, Aragonese handball will now experience a derby again after a decade, although this time in the Silver Honor Division.
